Supplementing HIV-ART with cannabinoids increases serotonin, BHB, and Ahr signaling while reducing secondary bile acids and acylcholines Cannabinoids added to ART may reduce comorbidities by increasing serotonin, IPA, and BHB while reducing SBAs and acylcholines.

Honored to publish in Science Advances! HIV + ART drive metabolic disruption. Cannabinoids as adjuncts to ART restore bile acid balance, boost serotonin & protect liver, gut & brain โ€” with broad impact on metabolic health.

Many thanks to Dr. Peter Hotez, MD PhD for inviting me to visit this weekend in Houston. I really appreciate the career advice and our great conversation!

Grateful for mentors like Dr. Hotez as I navigate the career paths in infectious disease and global health.
