S3E1: Early Life Exposures and the Gut Microbiota [with Dr Ruairi Robertson]
Description
Welcome to the third series of the Microbiome Matters podcast. In this series, we’ll be exploring some modifiable and non-modifiable factors affecting the gut. In this episode, we are joined by Dr Ruairi Robertson, a current postdoctoral research fellow at The Blizard Institute, Queen Mary University of London. His research examines the influence of the gut microbiome in early life growth and infection within mother-infant cohorts in sub-Saharan Africa. He will be talking to us about the role of early life exposures on the gut microbiota.
