Along with his colleagues Dr. Stephen Lindemann of Purdue (a former Food for Health Seminar speaker) and Dr. Aaron Wright of PNNL, Dr. Hyun-Seob Song was recently awarded an NSF Microbiome Rules of Life grant. This $2.4 million award, which started in January 2022, will allow them to study “Microbial Division of Labor in Polysaccharide-Degrading Communities”. The Microbiome Rules of Life grant mechanism encourages eminent scientists to work across disciplines to answer fundamental questions related to microbial community assembly and function.
