WASHINGTON — Hyun S. Lillehoj, a research molecular biologist at the Agricultural Research Service Animal Biosciences and Biotechnology Laboratory in Beltsville, Md., has been named to the ARS Science Hall of Fame for discoveries in poultry disease.
Lillehoj has conducted basic and applied research that advanced the understanding of immunological responses in poultry to the enteric pathogens Eimeria and Clostridium, which together cost the U.S. poultry industry $5 billion annually in losses. Lillehoj also has developed alternatives to antibiotic approaches — integrating nutrition, health and disease research — to protect commercial chickens from important avian diseases.
