								Biography
				Kendal D.  Hirschi works on the basic mechanisms of plant nutrient transport and creating rationale strategies for the nutritional enhancement of crops. My group has published work utilizing bacteria, yeast, plants, mice, zebrafish and humans as experimental models to study molecular nutrition. In the last several years I have focused on understanding the bioavailability and bioactivity of plant-based small RNAs in consumers.
