Personal Philosophy
I thank Jesus for making a guy like me look smart.
Research Interests:
The health effects of dietary fermentable fibers, specifically resistant starches. My interests include prevention and treatment of chronic diseases with a focus of research at the molecular level.
Current Projects:
Gut Microflora and our Health
