Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Eric Keen"
- Eric Keen's recent research has focused on the gut microbiome of hospitalized preterm infants, revealing how gut microbiota dynamics influence early-life disorders and long-term health problems, emphasizing the role of specific bacterial families in microbial assembly.
- He has explored innovative conservation methods, such as using drone technology to collect genetic samples of baleen whales, aiming to mitigate threats faced by these species due to environmental changes and human activities.
- Additionally, Keen's work includes genomic analyses of mycobacterial infections and their adaptative mechanisms in hosts, highlighting critical insights into the public health implications of nontuberculous mycobacteria, particularly in lung infections among vulnerable populations.
