Michael Fabinyi, currently a Senior Research Fellow at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University in Australia, will be taking up a new, permanent position as a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Technology Sydney, from May 16.

In her studies, Devkota explores the impact of diet-induced changes, especially dietary fatty acids, on the intestinal microbiota of humans and associated inflammatory and metabolic responses.
