The Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) announced today that the Kleiner lab is among the recipients of the FFAR New Innovator Awards. The three year research project in the Kleiner lab funded by FFAR and industry partners will link dietary components to the microbes in the intestinal tract of humans and animals that consume and convert them. Knowing which dietary components impact which microbes will help design diets that foster health-promoting microbes and deplete disease-causing microbes of their food source.
