Dr. Moul Dey, South Dakota State University, will present “Diet, Microbiome, and Chronic Diseases” at the Food for Health Seminar Series.
About the speaker:
Dr. Moul Dey is a Professor in the department of Health and Nutritional Sciences at SD State University. The overarching goal of Dr. Dey’s molecular nutrition research is to advance a deeper understanding of the role of nutrition in chronic disease prevention. Her laboratory integrates cell-based and preclinical animal models with human intervention studies to identify how dietary components contribute to human health and diseases.
Title: “Diet, microbiome, and chronic diseases”
Talk summary:
A wealth of new information on factors influencing physiological responses to diet such as the gut microbiome has introduced a new frontier in nutrition science. This talk will discuss how Dr. Dey’s team is using microbiome research in conjunction with human dietary intervention studies at South Dakota State University. Her team conducts dietary interventions within free-living communities as well as under controlled-feeding-intake conditions. Her work has shown that increasing resistant starch consumption results in improvements in dyslipidemia, body composition, and immune-function markers while shifting the microbiome signature in the gut. Her current focus is to identify operational taxonomic units that tend to affect weight loss response and to investigate health-implications of gut microbiota-derived metabolites.
