Alexis Biasotti does research in the Milk for Infant, Mind and Immunity (MIMI) Laboratory at the University of Idaho campus in Moscow, ID on March 26, 2025. She is an undergraduate pre-vet student, majoring in Animal and Veterinary Science, and has been in the Chen Lab since her freshman year because she was immediately drawn to the Piglet Intervention Center (PInC). Alexis has contributed significantly ranging from animal husbandry, lab maintenance, to growing cell culture for experiments. She completed one project comparing systemic inflammatory response between piglets fed human milk vs. infant formula. Alexis is now working on optimizing growing conditions for human enteroids.
