Dave Dallas, Ph.D. Associate Professor
College of Public Health & Human Sciences

I am a nutrition and food sciences researcher working to understand and enhance the biological impacts of milk components (e.g., proteins, peptides, glycans) across digestion in infants and adults. I collaborate with clinicians (e.g., neonatologists), gut physiologists, microbial ecologists, and industry partners.
