GUTMOM meeting Pisa 2019
Last week, on 24-25 October, we had our first face-to-face meeting in Pisa with all consortium members. Thanks to all partners for presenting an update on their research lines, and CNR for hosting this great event.
We focus on early life gut-brain interaction
Maternal & Infant Health
Maternal obesity and cognition in the offspring
Gut Microbiome
Intestinal microbiota and metabolites
Beneficial Nutrients
Dietary intervention with food supplements
We are the GUTMOM, a European JPI Consortium studying the effect of maternal obesity during pregnancy on cognitive dysfunction in the offspring. Our goal is to show a cause-effect role of the GUT MicrobiOMe in these gut-brain interactions and to find microbial or metabolic candidates in order for us to design early dietary prevention.
