Knutson Lab
Led by Mitchell D Knutson · Food Science and Human Nutrition
What we study
The Knutson Lab studies iron transport and metabolism in humans, focusing on molecular mechanisms and disorders like iron deficiency and overload. They identify iron transport proteins and explore therapeutic targets for related health issues.
