A young lab at Harvard Medical School that uses chemical biology to study the human microbiome 🧪🔬🦠🧫 **student- & postdoc-run account**

The Devlin lab is seeking a new postdoctoral researcher to join our group (start date between now and Spring 2026). Chemists and biologists interested in how gut bacteria affect human health are encouraged to apply. More information on our lab website devlin.hms.harvard.edu/contact/.


We just published a paper in @mSphereJ about bacterial contributions to the progression of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a chronic liver disease whose only current treatment is liver transplant. Check it out below! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…


Check out our new review article in @NatImmunol about the role of gut microbial metabolites in the T cell lifecycle! nature.com/articles/s4159…


Check out our new paper published @cellhostmicrobe! Lithocholic acid (LCA) is a metabolic toxin decreased by bariatric surgery. Taurodeoxycholic acid, which is increased by surgery, inhibits LCA production by microbes and has metabolic benefits. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jTSj6t8JEqo…

We're very excited to share that our paper on the 21-dehydroxylation of steroids is online in @CellCellPress today! Read how flatulence drives bacterial production of allopregnanolone, an FDA-approved drug for postpartum depression. Full-text here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1j8j7L7PXqQmM

Snehal initiated the collaboration between @DevlinLab and @BWHSurgMetab , organized my interview two years ago, and has been an excellent collaborator for the past two years. Best wishes on her new journey!

Earlier this week we said ~see you later~ to one of the OG Devlin lab postdocs, Snehal Chaudhari, as she embarks on her journey as an Assistant Professor at @UWBiochem! We are so proud of her but we’ll miss her big time 😭

Long overdue, but our first grad student @microbe_megan just defended her thesis in May!🤩 She also just gave an AMAZING talk at #bbm2023 @BostonBacteria on her thesis work. 🎉 What an exciting couple of months!

Oh btw I defended my dissertation last week? Here’s me being a silly goose trying to open the bottle of champagne

Gut bacterial modifications characterized so far involve hydrolytic & reductive pathways. @DevlinLab & colleagues have discovered a mechanism by which gut bacteria sulfonate steroidal metabolites that can modulate immune cell trafficking @NatureMicrobiol nature.com/articles/s4156…


We’re excited to share our latest paper in @ScienceAdvances led by Snehal in our lab and Darrik Li in Raymond Chung’s lab @MGHLiverCenter! Check it out! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Today's #shoutout to #womenInSTEM goes to Lina Yao @DevlinLab for her @NatureMicrobiol paper on a biosynthetic pathway for selective sulfonation of steroidal metabolites by human #gut #bacteria. nature.com/articles/s4156…
