Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Renee Fox's research investigates the complex interplay between diet, the gut microbiome, and host physiology, with a particular focus on metabolic and immune system development. Her work has explored the impact of human milk oligosaccharides and maternal milk consumption on the gut and immune system in mouse models. She has also evaluated plant-based infant formulas in piglet models, assessing their effects on gut microbiota, intestinal morphology, and metabolic and immune markers. Further studies examine the progression of type 2 diabetes in rat models, investigating changes in the ileal transcriptome and colonic epithelial hypoxia. Fox's research also touches on the potential role of globins in brown adipose tissue, utilizing myoglobin knockout mice. Collaborations include work with Brian D. Piccolo, Christy Simecka, Michael Scott Robeson, and Christopher E. Randolph at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
