Ashley McKelvey switched from nursing to nutrition research at OSU. Learn how her work on preterm infant digestion and human milk peptides impacts infant health.

Anna Hayes combines carbohydrate chemistry and neuroscience to understand the gut-brain axis. Her research on ancient grains and dietary fiber reveals surprising connections between what we eat and how we think.

See how nutrition researchers use the Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME) to understand how dietary fibers promote healthy gut bacteria and improve infant nutrition.

The SHIME simulates human digestion in the lab, helping researchers study how foods break down, release nutrients, and affect gut bacteria. Learn how this remarkable technology is advancing nutrition science.
