Introducing our new postdoc Chahat!

Chahat completed his PhD in Microbiology from UT Dallas. He is passionate about exploring the gut microbiome and its link with disease. In the lab, Chahat will be working toward deciphering microbial markers of early-onset colorectal cancer. @chahat.bsky.social

Thanks Jan for this! It really helped me connect with a lot of microbiome peeps through this. If you're still adding people to the list, I would love to be added as well!
