The Dao Research Lab, directed by Dr. Maria Carlota Dao, studies the interplay between diet, the gut microbiome, and human health, with a focus on populations at risk for food insecurity and chronic disease. This involves addressing the multiple social and environmental barriers to healthy nutrition faced by communities in need.<\/p>\n

Our Areas of Interest<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given the complexities\u00a0of\u00a0nutrition, weight management, and human health, our research considers biological, psychosocial, cultural, and environmental\u00a0determinants of health.<\/p>\n

We aim to better understand the impacts of these factors\u00a0on\u00a0the gut microbiome, weight status,\u00a0and access to nutrient-rich foods with special attention to minority populations in NH.<\/p>\n
