Human Milk Oligosaccharide Utilization in Intestinal Bifidobacteria Is Governed by Global Transcriptional Regulator NagR
Biotics & Microbiome Health
Arzamasov A. et al. (2022)
Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis is a prevalent beneficial bacterium that colonizes the human neonatal gut and is uniquely adapted to efficiently use human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) as a carbon and energy source.
Human milk oligosaccharide-sharing by a consortium of infant derived Bifidobacterium species
Biotics & Microbiome Health
Walsh C. et al. (2022)
Bifidobacteria are associated with a host of health benefits and are typically dominant in the gut microbiota of healthy, breast-fed infants. A key adaptation, facilitating the establishment of these species, is their ability to consume particular sugars, known as human milk oligosaccharides (HMO), which are abundantly found in breastmilk.
Grants to
promote research
Our research partnership program aims to provide financial support for innovative pre-clinical and clinical research projects conducted in one of our 4 areas of expertise.

Funded projects
Exploring perinatal factors on vertical microbiota transmission : modulation of early life gut microbiota to prevent long-term effects
Immunity & Allergy
Langella P., Micalis Institute, INRA, France, 2019
The project target C-section delivered newborns. It will analyse the role of microbiota in the higher risk of this population to Allergy and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), mainly Crohn Disease (CD), using murine models and define new preventive strategies based on microbiota modulation by nutritional approaches (mainly probiotics).

The role of microbiota in brain homeostasis during adulthood and early life
Brain Development
Ronchi F., Department of Biomedical research, University of Bern, Switzerland, 2019
This project will help to understand the basic mechanisms leading to learning and memory functions and this will pave the way for new discoveries to treat human populations affected by chronic neurological memory/cognitive disorders.
