Outline of Research at the Start	This project would involve using a novel cutting-edge nutriomic approach to evaluate the effects of Manuka Honey (MH) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in vivo. In this project, we strive to elucidate the molecular signatures of MH on a Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS) induced colitis C57BL/6J mice model.
