Rebuilding the Infant Gut Microbiome: Translational Science to Impact Human Health
Ancient relationships between hosts and microbes provide insight into key biological processes including digestion, infection, nutrition, disease resistance, early life immune programming, and metabolic development. By understanding host-microbe relationships, and how they are created or maintained, our work has built rational, translational technologies and therapies that leverage food science, biotechnology, nutrition, molecular biology, and an understanding of ecological and evolutionary relationships to improve infant health. This work has had a meaningful impact on infant health and nutrition in the US and beyond, and translational science can be a powerful partner to realize the benefits of scientific research.
