Ryan Hsieh joins the lab

Ryan Hsieh is a University of Michigan medical student who’ll be joining the lab. Ryan is participating in the NIH-funded Short-Term Biomedical Research Training Program (STBR), which will provide him some protected time to participate in research during his clinical training years. Ryan will be working with Robert Dickson and Rishi Chanderraj, investigating whether hyperoxia (which we have discovered alters respiratory and gastrointestinal microbiota) and hyperoxemia (which we have found is startlingly common among mechanically ventilated patients and predictive of mortality) are associated with increased rates of bacteremia with gut microbiota. Welcome, Ryan!
