Overview

Don Shin is affiliated with the University of California, Los Angeles in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on the intersection of medicine, biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, and neuroscience, with a significant emphasis on gut microbiota and its relationship to health.

The topics frequently explored in their work include:

  • Gut microbiota and health
  • Barrier structure and function studies
  • Immune response and inflammation
  • Diet and metabolism studies
  • Pharmacological effects and toxicity studies
  • Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens research
  • Gastrointestinal motility and disorders

Don Shin has contributed to various subfields such as molecular biology, neurology, immunology, physiology, and pediatrics, perinatology, and child health. Their work appears in a range of publication venues, notably including:

  • Epilepsia
  • Epilepsy & Behavior
  • Epilepsia Open

Among recent papers published, the following stand out with their publication year and venues:

  • Disruption of intestinal barrier and endotoxemia after traumatic brain injury: Implications for post-traumatic epilepsy (2021, Epilepsia)
  • Susceptibility to epilepsy after traumatic brain injury is associated with preexistent gut microbiome profile (2022, Epilepsia)
  • Modification of post-traumatic epilepsy by fecal microbiota transfer (2022, Epilepsy & Behavior)
