Undergraduate and graduate students participate alongside faculty who are leaders in their field on research that advances understanding in the food sciences.
Chris Curtin, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Wiegand Hall | christopher.curtin@oregonstate.edu
David Dallas, Ph.D., Adjunct Faculty, Assistant Professor, Milam Hall | dave.dallas@oregonstate.edu | The Dallas lab examines human milk and dairy bioactives, particularly milk proteins and how they are digested in humans (both infant and adult). We examine the degradation of proteins and the release of bioactive peptides via liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry-based peptidomics and proteomics. We also examine milk peptide and protein function via antimicrobial, antiviral, bacterial growth and immunomodulation assays.
