Steve Frese is an Assistant Professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, affiliated with the Ecology, Evolution & Conservation Biology Graduate Program. His research focuses on host-microbe interactions, particularly in the context of the gut microbiome, nutrition, and translational technologies.
- Education:
- B.S. from Allegheny College
- Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln
Frese's work explores ancient host-microbe relationships to understand biological processes such as digestion, immune programming, and metabolic development. His lab aims to develop biotechnological tools and therapies to improve health outcomes through dietary interventions and microbiome modulation, with a focus on Nevada populations.
