We are excited to announce our undergraduate student, soon to be PhD student, Sam Sonsalla has gotten his article “Importance of vitamin D in gastrointestinal health and disease” published in Frontiers of Nutrition! He originally starting working on this paper last summer and has put a great deal of effort in writing and revising the paper throughout the year. We are so proud of him and can’t wait to see what else he will accomplish in the Samarasinghe Lab– hopefully leading to more papers! We would also like to acknowledge the second author Dr. Jennifer Armbruster-Lee, a former clinical fellow in the Samarasinghe Lab at the University of Tennessee who drafted the original paper, as well as Dr. Amali Samarasinghe who assisted with editing and advising both Jenn and Sam.
