Description

This NIH research grant opportunity focuses on studying the effects of maternal prepregnancy obesity on offspring cognitive function and behavior. The project aims to investigate the relationship between diet-induced dysbiosis of the maternal gut microbiome and adverse cognitive health outcomes in offspring using interdisciplinary methods including metagenomics, metabolomics, and neuroscience. The goal is to develop innovative preventative treatments to reduce chronic disease burden in children born to obese mothers. The research is conducted by Baylor College of Medicine and funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).
