Select from the following:
Michael Arndt is a post-doctoral fellow in the Drug Development Program at PATH, working to develop diagnostics to identify and interventions to treat Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED), an intestinal disorder associated with increased risk of stunting and poor oral vaccine efficacy in children in low resource settings. Michael has a Ph.D. in Epidemiology from the University of Washington and an B.S. in Biology from Duke University. He leads the PATH Drug Development Program's projects in the area of environmental enteric dysfunction. Michael is the Principal Investigator for a randomized controlled trial to determine the safety, acceptability, and pediatric dosing of an amino acid-based oral rehydration solution, for potential use in the management of EED among children aged 12-24 months in Kenya. He is also leading a project with PATH's diagnostics program to develop a multiplex assay to detect and quantify EED biomarkers in human specimens that can be used as a research tool. He continues research with UW faculty and icddr,b related to EED, hormonal responses to feeding, and pathogenic E. coli infections.
