The Marco lab is located in The Department of Food Science & Technology at The University of California, Davis
Research in the Marco lab examines the roles of microorganisms in determining food safety, food quality, and gut health. A common thread to our projects is the investigation of the ecology and host-microbe interactions of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in food systems and the mammalian digestive tract. The broad objective of this research program is to identify the attributes of microorganisms which can be used to guide improvements in food production to benefit human health.
