Funded Activity Summary

Unravelling the maternal gut microbiome as a driver of fetal development . This project aims to experimentally determine how changes in the maternal gut microbiota impact the phenotype of the offspring. This innovative project uses an interdisciplinary approach combined with novel models and the latest generation technology for genome sequencing. Expected outcomes include extensive new knowledge of how the gut microbiota communicates with the host during pregnancy and the impact this has on the gastrointestinal, immune, cardiovascular and reproductive systems. Our findings should yield information that may ultimately be translated into products that augment agricultural production, providing significant benefits.
