Shaan Mooyottu

Shaan Mooyottu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pathobiology at Auburn University's College of Veterinary Medicine, focusing on gut microbiome-pathogen interactions and non-antibiotic interventions for enteric diseases.

Education:

• Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Pathologists (Anatomic Pathology), 2018
• MS (Pathobiology - Veterinary Anatomic Pathology), University of Connecticut, 2017
• PhD (Animal Science – Microbiology), University of Connecticut, 2016
• MVSc (Veterinary Pathology), Indian Veterinary Research Institute, 2010
• BVSc (DVM), Kerala Agricultural University, 2008

His research examines microbiome-targeted strategies against C. difficile infection, dysbiosis effects on gut-brain/liver axes, molecular epidemiology of zoonotic transmission, and in situ animal models for human gut-microbiome studies, emphasizing translational solutions for antimicrobial resistance.

Scientific Awards:

• Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Pathologists (Anatomic Pathology) (2018)

Dr. Mooyottu directs the Gut Pathogens-Microbiome Laboratory, which pioneers non-antibiotic approaches to combat enteric pathogens through interdisciplinary investigations of host-microbiome-pathogen dynamics.
