  • About the Sterolbiome Laboratory

    Follow us on Twitter: @Ridlon_Lab The research in our laboratory focuses on the role of steroid and bile acid metabolism on human and animal health and disease. Small modifications to host steroids and bile acids can have large physiological consequences for the host. We focus on discovering genes encoding enzymes involved in steroid and bile…
