Research Interests

The long-term goal of the Minor lab or Laboratory of Animal Immune Responses (LAIR) is to find natural and effective solutions that promote positive immune responses and support overall health of animals and humans. Research projects in the laboratory apply cell and molecular biology techniques to in vitro and in vivo model systems aimed at investigating the impacts that functional foods and dietary supplements make on immune responses.
