NEW ORLEANS — The University of Holy Cross has dedicated its new Brown Foundation Food Science Microbiology Research Laboratory. The comprehensive facility will allow the university’s food science program to expand their students’ undergraduate research to include food pathogen analysis and effects of food and beverages on gut health and potential use of probiotics. The new lab is made possible by the generous support of the local Brown Foundation which has funded nearly a half million dollars in grants to UHC’s Food Science Program over the past six years.
