Kelsey Mangano Research

Research Interests

Professor Mangano’s research interests include examining the complex interactions between diet, gastrointestinal homeostasis and health. Current projects aim to: 1) improve dietary quality, and health by nutrition intervention in persons with low food security; 2) examine the impact of food additives on gut homeostasis; and 3) explore links between dairy biomarkers, the gut microbiome and cardiometabolic outcomes. Future research will develop dietary interventions to promote gut and overall health.
