Beginning in 1959, with the discovery and isolation of the DDS-1 strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Dr. Shahani created a body of original research unmatched by others in the field. 

The resulting 80 technical papers on probiotic microorganisms is still regarded as one of the groundbreaking achievements in the field of probiotics, and helped usher in today’s wide acceptance of probiotic supplementation.

Dr. Shahani’s work in optimizing these cultures for commercial application also resulted in the proprietary manufacturing processes still used by Nebraska Cultures today to ensure products of the highest quality, stability and efficacy.
