Translational Livestock Microbiome Research Lab
Decoding host-microbe interactions to improve animal health, production efficiency, and sustainability.
Welcome to the TLMRL
The Translational Livestock Microbiome Research (TLMR) Lab is dedicated to understanding the complex dynamics of the microbiome in livestock species. By integrating multi-omics approaches—including metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metabolomics—we aim to translate fundamental discoveries into practical solutions for the agriculture industry.
Microbiome & Health
Investigating how early-life microbial colonization influences immune development and resilience against pathogens in swine and ruminants.
AMR Mitigation
Mapping the "resistome" in livestock environments to develop strategies that reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes.
Sustainability
Targeting rumen fermentation pathways to improve feed efficiency and reduce enteric methane emissions.
