Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Caleb LeGrand's research investigates the interplay between diet, aging, and the gut microbiome, with a specific focus on the role of selenium and the bacterium *Akkermansia muciniphila*. His work has explored how dietary selenium deficiency can accelerate age-related changes in the gut microbial community, particularly impacting the abundance of *A. muciniphila*. This deficiency has also been linked to the onset of type 2 diabetes in mouse models. LeGrand's publications include studies on dietary selenium deficiency's impact on aging-related gut microbial changes in telomere-humanized mice and the influence of gut *Ruminococcus torques* on type 2 diabetes in selenium-deficient mice. He has also contributed to research on hypothermic machine perfusion's effects on oxidative stress markers in donor kidneys.
