About
In her talk, Valérie Verhasselt will emphasise the uniqueness of the infant immune system and show how a deeper understanding of its distinct physiology is essential to meeting the infant’s specific needs. She will draw attention to one of nature’s most creative interventions: breast milk — a dynamic fluid that holds the clues to promoting child health. Studying it places us in the best position to support the development of a healthy immune system, with long-term benefits.
The speaker is invited by Yasmine Belkaid as part of joint seminars organized by the Department of Immunology and the Cross-disciplinary Research Program in Maternal and Child Health.
