Research summary

Erik Parker's research spans brain cancer biology and the study of microbial communities (the microbiome) in health and disease. Earlier work examined how a cell-surface receptor called GPR133 contributes to the growth of glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor, while more recent work explores how gut and other microbiomes relate to metabolism, cognition, and aging in animal models. The topics reflect a shift from tumor cell biology toward microbiome-focused studies.
