This multi-disciplinary lab studies gut mucosal immunity and enteric pathogens, probiotic metabolism of foods, and host associated microbiota-metabolic changes in response to dietary interventions across the lifespan.
Current projects involve investigation of foods such as rice bran, legumes (beans, cowpeas) and the impacts of these nutrient dense, fiber-rich foods on gut microbiome metabolism with health outcomes related to child growth as well as reducing risk for cancer.
Our team collaborates with local, national, and international groups on functional and sustainable foods and utilizes cutting-edge technologies such as metabolomics.
