Project description

Rheumatoid arthritis is a widespread disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Recent research has pinpointed diet and its impact on the gut microbiome as being a major player in the development of the disease.

Kyler was very helpful throughout the project. He always asked if I understood the concept and even took time to explain a concept if it did not make sense to me.
