Featured Speaker

Mark Lyte, professor
Iowa State University’s Veterinary Microbiology and Preventive Medicine Department

Microbial Endocrinology in Human and Veterinary Medicine:  From Infectious Disease to the Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis

“The results from my laboratory over the last 25 years have provided the initial and continuing results demonstrating the ability of microorganisms to produce and respond to neurochemicals that are capable of influencing host health, behavior, and disease pathogenesis. This has resulted in the creation of a new translational scientific discipline uniting the fields of neurobiology and microbiology that has been termed microbial endocrinology.”

Dr. Lyte studies the role of stress in disease and health and development of interdisciplinary field of microbial endocrinology.  He is board certified in clinical laboratory medicine and responsible for laboratory clinical sciences at major hospital.
