USDA NIFA funds Dallas Lab to examine antibacterial and immunomodulatory milk peptides across infant digestion

The Dallas lab was recently awarded a 3-year grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture to examine the release of antimicrobial and immunomodulatory peptides from human milk across term infant digestion--within milk, gastric, intestinal and stool contents. This work is in partnership with Dr. Brian Scottoline at the OHSU neonatal intensive care unit.
