Project description

What will this grant bring to the research project?

This project will enhance our understanding of the relationship between gut microbiota and neurodevelopment during early childhood when both systems undergo rapid changes. With funding from the Biocodex Microbiota Foundation, we are able to support young researchers engage with and learn about this rapidly evolving field.
