The Center for Patient, Family, and Community Engagement in Chronic Care Management (CENTRIC) at UNMC funded a proposal, “Fiber Intake and the Microbiome in Asthma: the BREATHE Easy Trial,” from Corri Hanson, PhD, associate professor in medical nutrition education. Her team will analyze the microbiome, short-chain fatty acid production, inflammatory biomarkers and pro-resolving mediators in the BREATHE-Easy trial.
Dr. Hanson also received a grant from the Soy Health Research Program for a proposal titled, “Gut-Lung Crosstalk: Impact of Dietary Fiber and Soy on Systemic Inflammation among COPD Patients.”
Congratulations, Dr. Hanson!
Corri, I’m having trouble finding enough superlatives to describe your work. You make me proud to be a part of the College and the University. Best wishes for continued success!
