Meet Dr. Daniel Leung, his research connects gut microbes to global health. His lab explores how microbiota shape mucosal immunity and vaccine outcomes—especially in enteric infections. #universityofutahhealth #infectiousdisease

This week’s spotlight: Dr. June Round, microbiome pioneer at the University of Utah! Her research shows how gut microbes shape immune tolerance, fight autoimmune diseases like MS and IBD, and how early exposure can influence lifelong health. #health #microbiome #MAGIC @uuhsresearch.bsky.social

We’re excited to launch the official Bluesky account for the Microbiota and Gastrointestinal Immunology Consortium (MAGIC) at the University of Utah! Follow along as we share research highlights, training, opportunities, and collaborations that make our work truly MAGIC ✨ @uuhsresearch.bsky.social
