Animal Science

Dr. Jiangchao Zhao in the Department of Animal Science studies the roles that human and animal microbiome play in overall health and also in animal production. Zhao’s research has required significant computation resources over the past three years and access to Trestles at AHPCC has boosted the team’s productivity leading to multiple grant awards and publications.
