Moudar Dweydari selected for prestigious Mayo Clinic fellowship

Moudar Dweydari
Moudar DweydariUIUC Second Year
Major in Kinesiology

I’m honored and extremely thankful to have the opportunity of partaking in Mayo Clinic’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF). The internship is a 10 week program on Mayo Clinic’s campus in Rochester, Minnesota. Throughout the summer, I’ll have the opportunity to learn and work alongside scientists and physicians in their research endeavors. Personally, I’ll be working with Dr. Saranya Wyles in Regenerative Sciences. I’m very excited for this opportunity and can’t wait to get started! Of course, none of this would have been possible without the support of my amazing family at the Bonthuis Lab. Shoutout Paul, Daryl, Erin, Leah, Jill, and Sam!

Noncanonical genomic imprinting in the monoamine system determines naturalistic foraging and brain-adrenal axis functions

See press release.

“The revelation that maternal and paternal alleles of the same gene along the brain-adrenal axis could have disparate, or possibly even antagonistic, phenotypic consequences on behavior is an intriguing observation,” says the paper’s first author, Paul Bonthuis, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Comparative Biosciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Bonthuis Villain Lab

Villain Lab

On September 10th, the Bonthuis lab took all its’ villainous members to Champaign-Urbana Adventures in Time and Space.  Our super-evil overlord tricked and betrayed his fellow villains and left us with only one hour and our wits to escape from the clutches of his trap and prevent our certain doom!  Is no super-evil overlord to be trusted?  Our logic skills were put to the test, but we escaped and saved ourselves just in the nick of time with only 6 minutes and 55 seconds to spare!  Our maniacal laughter filled the air upon our triumphant escape and proved that we would live to villain another day … and enjoy doing it.
