Overview

Garret Suen is a researcher affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences as well as Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Within these broad areas, their work frequently addresses specialized subfields including Molecular Biology, Agronomy and Crop Science, Food Science, Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics, and Infectious Diseases.

Their research topics cover a range of subjects, with significant attention given to gut microbiota and health, ruminant nutrition and digestive physiology, milk quality and mastitis in dairy cows, and plant and fungal interactions. Additionally, they have contributed to studies on Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens research, probiotics and fermented foods, and genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock.
