Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Renee Fox's research investigates the complex interplay between diet, the gut microbiome, and host health, with a particular focus on infant nutrition and metabolic disorders. Her work has explored the impact of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and specific bacterial strains, such as *Bifidobacteria infantis*, on metabolite production, immune responses, and amino acid metabolism in mouse models. Fox has also examined the effects of plant-based infant formulas on gut microbiota composition and immune markers in piglets.

In addition to microbiome research, her studies have investigated metabolic conditions, including type 2 diabetes. She has analyzed transcriptional changes and morphological alterations in the ileum and colon during diabetes progression in rat models. Fox has also explored the role of globins in brown adipose tissue, utilizing myoglobin knockout mice. Her research collaborations include work with Christy Simecka, Michael Scott Robeson, and Christopher E. Randolph at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
