Prior studies have demonstrated that the multiple sclerosis gut microbiota can contribute to disease, hence making it a potential therapeutic target. In addition, antibiotic treatment has been shown to ameliorate disease in the EAE mouse model of multiple sclerosis. Yet, to this date, the mechanisms mediating these antibiotic effects are not understood. Furthermore, there is no consensus on the gut-derived bacterial strains that drive neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis. <a href=\"https:\/\/microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s40168-022-01364-2\">Click here for more.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vljxytM01nA?si=8qABlCaVG8adxz9-&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=null\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/labs.icahn.mssm.edu\/tankoulab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/332\/2019\/09\/TankouPic.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Stephanie Tankou&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"widgettitle\">Contact Us<\/h4>\n<p>Laboratory of the Gut Brain Axis in CNS Autoimmunity<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/icahn.mssm.edu\/profiles\/eric-j-nestler\">Stephanie Tankou, MD, PhD<\/a><br \/>\nAssistant Professor of Neurology<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Leon and Norma\u00a0Hess Center\u00a0for Science and Medicine<br \/>\n1470 Madison Avenue<br \/>\nNew York, NY 10029<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phone<\/strong><br \/>\nLab: 212.241.2845<\/p>\n<p><strong>Email<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:stephanie.tankou@mssm.edu\">stephanie.tankou@mssm.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<hr>\n<h3>Postdoctoral Fellow<\/h3>\n<p>We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow with a strong background in Neuroscience, neuroimmunology, molecular biology, mouse genetics and mouse handling.
