We had the pleasure of interviewing Chris earlier this week for the Lister Institute blog, and were excited to learn about his team's new preprint: a game-changer in understanding how human breast milk influences the infant microbiome.
Introducing our latest preprint which discovered Clostridium sp. grow on HMOs. Using computational and experimental approaches we show this has beneficial consequences for the developing microbiome and the host. But there is nuance.
