An Afternoon with Dr. Conway

Abstract

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Tyrrell Conway, Ph.D., who is the current department head and Professor for Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at Oklahoma State University. We discussed one of his more recent publications “Applying the Restaurant Hypothesis to Intestinal Microbiota”. Dr. Conway hinted that this project has been one of the most exciting for him to date. The research behind the article is trying to figure out what makes E. coli tick and what type of nutrient/food the bacteria thrives on.
