Congrats! 🎉👏

We are so proud of the incredible work of PAMS undergraduate researchers showcased at Purdue’s 2025 Spring Undergraduate Research Conference! Check out a couple of their awesome posters below:

Happy #WorldHealthDay! Here's to studying the microbes from the ground to the gut, and from drinking water to dinner plate, that relate to human health.🌾🌱💧

🐄🦠 Did you know? Cows can’t digest grass alone—their gut microbes do it for them! Ruminants rely on gut bacteria to break down cellulose for nutrients.

Some of the PAMS research leaders in animal gut health are:
🔬 Dr. Ilya Slizovskiy
🔬 Dr. Timothy Johnson
🔬 Dr. Tingting Ju
