New members: Mark Adame and Callie Drohan

The lab is excited to welcome two new members this summer!

Mark Adame is an MSTP (MD-PhD) student in the University of Michigan Medical School. He previously rotated through the Dickson Lab, contributing to our work on the role of the gut microbiome in temperature regulation in sepsis. He will now join the lab full-time, and investigate further how gut microbiota contribute to (and protect us from) organ failure in sepsis. Mark will be co-mentored by Kathleen Stringer, and will acquire skills both in microbiome and metabolomics analysis. Before medical school, Mark spent three years working in the lab of Sarkis Mazmanian at Caltech studying how gut microbial metabolites influence behavior.

Callie Drohan is a current Clinical Fellow in Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine at the University of Michigan. Callie performed her residency training at the University of Pittsburgh, where she worked with Georgios Kitsios studying biomarkers in critical illness. Callie will be studying gut translocation as a biomarker and mediator of organ failure in critical illness.
