Gut feelings

Dr Constanza Alcaino is a post doctoral researcher in the Gribble Reimann lab, who undertakes a number of laboratory techniques to understand the gut. She is originally from Chile and has undertaken research in Cambridge and the Mayo Clinic USA

Ana and Ali are early-career researchers with a shared interest in nutrition and metabolism. Both completed their Master’s training in the Blouet lab, where they explored how diet influences health and behaviour. Ana is now continuing this work as a PhD student, while Ali is preparing to begin his PhD at Imperial College London. Together, they are passionate about making nutrition science accessible, and enjoy unpacking big questions - like what role protein really plays in our diets. Ana and Ali explore how protein shapes appetite, eating habits, and health, unpacking the science behind common diet trends and what they might mean for everyday life.

Dr Chris Bannon is a post-doctoral clinical researcher in the Gribble-Reimann lab, also affiliated with Gentofte Hospital Copenhagen. His research focuses on how weight management injections affect the gut, and how gut hormones are involved in symptoms of irritable bowel disease. He is also a coordinator for this year's pint of science, and is passionate regarding patient and public involvement in clinical research
