Time: 4:15 pm
day: Conference Day One

Details:

  • Discovering how the maternal gut microbiome and metabolome during pregnancy differs in traditional farming and urban communities and the association with differing allergic disease outcomes in infancy
  • Understanding how maternal microbial and metabolic signatures during pregnancy potentially prime the infant immune system towards a tolerogenic phenotype
  • Assessing the developmental trajectory of bifidobacterial species and HMO utilization capacity over the first year of life in farming and urban infants
