    In my current project I am assessing the fish gut digestive and absorptive processes during development and in response to dietary change. This project is an industrial funding project interested in the responses of the gut in farmed fish such rainbow trout and common carp. The experimental fish species, zebrafish, is also being used in order to investigate the regulatory processes involved in those responses.

    I have also been fortunate to be involved in collaborations with other members of the Shirazi-Beechey lab investigating the effect of artificial sweetener supplementation on the composition of microbiota in the swine gut.
