Dr. Kogut’s research is centered on gut health of poultry and alternatives to antibiotics to control disease and increase production. Specifi cally, Dr. Kogut’s research has concentrated on the development of cost-eff ective immunological interventions to improve gut health by studying the role of the microbiota in immunity to infection; the role of dietary metabolites in promoting immune regulation and immune responses to pathogens; tissue specifi c regulatory responses to infection; characterizing novel molecular targets that mediate the actions of dietary compounds and botanicals in infl ammation and immunity; investigating how diet modulates the gut microbiome and mucosal immune responses; and understanding the integration of central metabolic pathways and nutrient sensing with antimicrobial immunity and how it alters cellular energy homeostasis and contributes to the prevention or resolution of infectious diseases.
