I am incredibly happy to announce that our work finding oxytocin in the gut epithelium is now an article in Gut Microbes!!! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

New paper! Metabolic activity is shown to affect intestinal stem cells, but much less is known about how these pathways are transcriptionally regulated. In my review in AJP-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology I cover recent exciting studies and show how the field is ripe for more work! journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

We obtained our first new data from the McCauley Lab today and it was the best moment in the microscope room 🤩

Was this the longest year of my life? Yes. Am I insanely excited for the future? Also yes.

Happy to share our latest paper led by Munera lab and Dan Kechele where we characterize hPSC-derived human colonic organoids with codeveloping immune system. cell.com/action/showPdf…

Today my first graduate student had her first committee meeting and I am so proud of her and also of myself 🤗

Happy Thanksgiving from the McCauley Lab!!

We got a grant!! 😁

Excited to finally be able to share my thesis work in the Jim Wells Lab. If you want to learn more about the role of RFX6 in intestinal development and function, do I have something for you!! Development journals.biologists.com/dev/article-ab…

This week in the McCauley Lab: ✅ attended #APS2024 ✅ set up our surgical suite ✅ welcomed new PhD student, Meghan! ✅ “played” “golf” Drive Shack ⛳️

Packed house to support the new Dr. Guillermo Sanchez, PhD 🍾🥳🥹

Congrats to Dr. Guillermo Sanchez, PhD! Got to enjoy his impressive defense with another exceptional Jim Wells Lab alum Heather McCauley. Can’t wait to start working together in June.

Sometimes you just have a day when you know you’re in the right place.

I am on the job market this year for tenure-track positions in Canada and the US! My research program will investigate genetic and biological pathway bottlenecks in organ development that result in congenital anomalies, using animal models and microscopy imaging 1/2

#GTRSC24 Visit my graduate student Jennifer Nwako’s poster this afternoon to learn about EECs in barrier function!

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids repair damaged bowel in vivo - happy to share this work with Mike Helmrath Center for Stem Cell & Organoid Medicine - Congratulations to Holly Poling ! Link to the paper Cell Stem Cell authors.elsevier.com/c/1jlkh6tu0Cpv…

Are we reaching far enough? Guillermo Sanchez, PhD discusses why science outreach shouldn’t be just for people who are already in the loop, and why we should ‘reach further’ to capture new audiences. #ScienceOutreach #STEMoutreach thenode.biologists.com/are-we-reachin…

Hungry? Special cells lining our gut sense the food we eat and even how much our intestines stretch! Heather McCauley won an award to develop a new humanized mouse model to understand how these cells message immune cells and influence #guthealth and disease. unc.live/42KuHjM
