ISB Assistant Professor Dr. Sid Venkatesh is the co-first author of a paper in the journal Science. While at Washington University in St. Louis, Venkatesh and colleagues identified a novel gut microbial enzyme that impacts satiety-related signaling pathways in undernourished children treated with microbiota-directed complementary foods.
Dr. Sid Venkatesh recently joined ISB as assistant professor and is our newest faculty member. In this Q&A, Venkatesh discusses his research, his aspirations in the gut-microbiota field, his philosophy as a scientist, what he does when he’s not in the lab, and more.
