It c hanges over time as the baby grows\, and responds to the mother and baby’s environment. Breast milk is also the ultimate ‘personalized medicine’\, p roviding protection against infections during infancy\, and lowering the r isk of asthma and obesity later in childhood. These incredible properties of breast milk are related to its bioactive components\, including live ba cteria and specialized sugars that help ‘seed and feed’ the baby’s gut mic robiome. Dr. Azad’s THRiVE Discovery Lab is taking a multidisciplinary sys tems biology approach to model and understand how breastfeeding and human milk shape the infant microbiome and contribute to infant growth\, child d evelopment and lifelong health.\n DTSTART:20220124T170000Z DTEND:20220124T180000Z SUMMARY:QLS Seminar - Meghan Azad URL:/qls/channels/event/qls-seminar-meghan-azad-344330 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
