NFHC Member- Dr. Jacques Izard Spotlight Video

August 26th, 2021

We want you to get to know more about NFHC!  Stay tuned as we provide short videos of our PIs and students.  Get to know their lab, what they study, and how they complete their work.

Our faculty spotlight for August is Dr. Jacques Izard!

As the health status of the population is getting more complex, the Izard laboratory focuses on the interaction of our microbiome with diet and how this interaction impacts wellness. We use culture-dependent and culture-independent methods to understand the impact of the digestive tract bacteria in health and disease such as cancer. The multi-disciplinary approach aims to obtain a greater understanding of our microbiome function to empower everyone to nurture a supportive microbiome. Our participation in the Nebraska Food for Health Center includes the facilitation of clinical studies centered on food, diet, microbiome and host phenotypes.
