Honored to judge #Biotechathalon2025, focusing on the microbiome and #digestive diseases. Exciting to see students innovating in these crucial fields! Looking forward to next year’s breakthroughs! 🌱🔬 #Microbiome #UCSanDiego

✨Grateful to Dr Tsukamoto for an exceptional ALPD Center symposium at USC. Inspiring translational talks from senior scientists and remarkable passion from the next generation. Proud of my mentee’s Fernanda Raya Tonetti growth and outstanding contributions to science ✨UCSD Gastroenterology

Honored to collaborate with such brilliant colleagues on this work exploring how alcohol, aging, genetics, and the gut microbiome intersect to shape health and disease. doi.org/10.1016/j.alco… Suthat Liangpunsakul Wiramon Rungratanawanich Esther Melamed Katherine Maki, PhD Rebecca L McCullough

🚀 Biosphere 2 Gastronauts 2025 🌱 Join 125 visionaries in the Arizona desert, Oct 26–29, to explore the gut-brain axis and the power of food as medicine inside the legendary Biosphere 2. thinkgastronauts.com/biosphere2/ #GutBrain #FoodAsMedicine #Biosphere2 #Gastronauts2025

✨Our work shows that mAChR4-regulated goblet cell–associated antigen passages (GAPs) act as sentinels of gut immunity in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). These findings identify mAChR4 and IL6ST agonists as promising therapeutic options in ALD.📷 rdcu.be/eBAAo

🙏Grateful for the teamwork in the #FightAgainstLiverDisease ✨ We discovered that mAChR4-regulated goblet cell–associated antigen passages (GAPs) act as sentinels of gut immunity in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). ✨nature.com/articles/s4158…

Can’t wait for #SLAM2026! Excited to join the Summer Liver Academy Meeting and connect with colleagues pushing the boundaries in liver and microbiome research. See you there! 🧫🧠✨ #LiverResearch#ScienceCommunity #SLAM

What an experience at #TLM25! It was so inspiring to attend outstanding talks, present our lab’s poster (great job, @RayaRonetti) and support my coworkers during their presentations. I’m so grateful for the chance to reconnect with colleagues and friends from many institutions

Call for papers - Special Issue that aims to illuminate the complex interactions within the gut–liver, gut–brain, gut–lung, gut–aging, and other gut–organ axes in the context of #alcohol misuse. Suthat Liangpunsakul Llorente Lab

We sincerely thank everyone who attended the Career Development Club meeting on Thursday, November 13, 2025. We extend a special thank you to Dr. Gunter for delivering such a thought-provoking and engaging presentation.

In an EASL Education & AASLD masterclass, we discussed between being resilient vs stubborn. A resilient person focuses on a meaningful goal, and keeps moving forward despite obstacles. A stubborn person keeps pushing toward an unreachable aim, even when there are better paths.
