Department of Food Science and TechnologyResearch Symposium
Food Science and Technology Research Symposium
Monday, April 15, 2024
Food Innovation Center, 1901 N. 21st Street, Lincoln, NE 68588
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Steven FresePhD Alumnus 2012Dr. Stephen Frese is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research is centered on the human gut microbiome and its inhabitants. His work at the University of Nevada, Reno examines how diet, food science, and biotechnology can be leveraged to meaningfully improve human health and nutrition. Translating Science to an Impact on Human Health: The Story of a Biotech StartupAncient relationships between hosts and microbes provide insight into key biological processes including digestion, infection, nutrition, disease resistance, early life immune programming, and metabolic development. By understanding host-microbe relationships, and how they are created or maintained, our work has built rational, translational technologies and therapies that leverage food science, biotechnology, nutrition, molecular biology, and an understanding of ecological and evolutionary relationships to improve infant health. This work has had a meaningful impact on infant health and nutrition in the US and beyond, and translational science can be a powerful partner to realize the benefits of scientific research. |
