After completing her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, Davis, she started her lab in the Department of Pathology, °®¶¹´«Ã½ and Immunology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in 2018.
Byndloss's research aims at understanding how inflammation-mediated changes in gut epithelial metabolism lead to gut dysbiosis and increased risk of infectious gastroenteritis by Salmonella typhimurium and noncommunicable diseases, namely obesity-associated cardiovascular disease and colon cancer. She has authored over 70 scientific publications, including some in high-impact journals such as Nature and Science, and she has been named a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher in 2021 and 2022. She is a HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholar and has received multiple awards throughout her career, including the Science NOSTER Microbiome Prize (runner-up), a V Scholar Award (from V Foundation of Cancer Research), a Pew Biomedical Scholar Award (from the Pew Charitable Trusts) and a Burroughs Wellcome Investigators in Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease Award.
