Dr. Mannon has an extensive background in human gut mucosal immunology, gut epithelial biology, and the gut microbiome with specific expertise in investigator-initiated translational studies of novel and re-purposed agents and laboratory use of primary human specimens for experimental and monitoring assays.
As a co-investigator on the Human Microbiome Project, co-Director of the Nebraska Microbiome Research Group, and head of several research and clinical inflammatory bowel disease units, Dr. Mannon has the necessary expertise to support the proposed research on the role of ethanol-induced lysosome and autophagy disruption in conferring risk of IBD via epithelial barrier disruption and enhanced gut microbial dysbiosis.
