Gastronauts

How the gut and the brain communicate is a subject of increasing fascination and public health significance. Several modern health threats have been linked to the gut-brain axis, ranging from diabetes to autism.  Therefore, research for therapeutic development demands a multidisciplinary approach. To address this need, in 2014, we established a multidisciplinary focus group at Duke called Gastronauts.

Since January of 2015, the group has met every first Tuesday of the month.
