 Dr. Meghan Azad, Director of MILC, recently gave a virtual presentation at the Microbiome Virtual International Forum (MVIF), hosted in collaboration with Microbiota Vault, as part of the session on “Preservation of Microbial Diversity.” Her talk, “Global Perspectives on Human Milk and Infant Microbiomes,” highlighted breastfeeding as a key driver of infant microbiome development. Dr. Azad discussed how human milk composition—including its microbiome—varies across time and geography, and how these variations play a fundamental role in shaping infant microbiome development and influencing health outcomes worldwide.
