Bradley Seebach recommends Jonathan Lendrum for an undergraduate research grant to study the relationship between gut function and the glymphatic system that clears metabolites from brain tissue. Jon developed a proposal over several months with faculty collaborators to examine differences in sleep patterns and glymphatic clearance in mice on normal, probiotic, and antibiotic diets. Dr. Seebach is confident the project can be completed with faculty support and the funding requested in Jon's budget to cover the cost of mice. He believes the project is well-designed and likely to produce publishable results.
