Hot off the press! 🔥
Check out our most recent publication led by the amazing @acffonseca: doi.org/10.1016/j.psj.2024.1…
Here, we show that probiotics could enhance chicken feed efficiency & microbiota, offering a greener alternative to antibiotics in feed. 🐥✨🔬🌱🐔🧬🧫
🐥Ana Fonseca has had the craziest summer of us all. She recently completed a broiler study looking at the microbiome of broilers impacted by feed additives that had 3,000 chickens! That’s a lot of time, energy, and woman-power spent to complete.
Today was a special day for @ganda_lab and @acffonseca! Ana was the first Ganda Lab student to defend and wowed the audience in a full room. Great job on your MS defense Ana! Now onto a Ph.D. in Animal Sci. and Microbiome Sci. with us! @PSUmBiome@AgSciResearch@huckinstitutes
PulseNet is a network of labs that detects outbreaks of illnesses spread through food, water, animals & the environment. To show how PulseNet works, @CDC_NCEZID created a video of an epidemiologist speaking to a patient recovering from Salmonella. bit.ly/3sYqje6
Had a proud mentor paparazzi moment yesterday. 📸🥰Walking by the conference room and seeing the team working together and teaching each other #bioinformatics was SO heartwarming!
