Vegans Needed at PennMed A group of researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine are examining the differences in gut bacteria in vegans. This research can provide new information in the growing picture of how and why those on plant-based diets tend to have better health outcomes.



If you have been vegan (on a plant-based diet) for at least 6 months, then you are likely eligible for this research study. The financial compensation for completing the study is $250. Participation in the study involves providing only stool, blood, urine, and breath samples while also filling out several diet questionnaires.



If you are interested, please contact Erin Gilroy at egilroy@mail.med.upenn.edu or (215) 746-4218. Tell her that you learned about the study through the Penn Vegan Society.
