OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
My talk will cover how the microbiome develops in term infants and preterm infants. Within preterm infants, I will discuss how diet-microbe-host interaction has been linked to a range of health and disease outcomes, including necrotising enterocolitis. I will introduce a preterm human intestinal organoid model system we are using to advance our gut microbiome work. Such work has potential to develop novel disease biomarkers and targeted therapeutic interventions to promote health in preterm infants.
