ERC Approved Lecture for ACVIM Residency Specialty Symposium State-of-the-Art (SOTA) Presentation
Presentation Description / Summary: DIscussing how early-life gut commensal microbes educate the immune system. We developed a gnotobiotic mouse model of the early-life microbiome (called PedsCom) to study host-commensal interaction during a critical early-life window of immune ontogeny. Our current research leverages PedsCom to develop microbiota-based approaches to prevent autoimmune diabetes.

Learner Outcomes: Understand how commensal microbes impact immune system development.  New gnotobiotic tools to study host-commensal interaction during early life and beyond

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participant will be able to understand how early life commensal microbes impact immune system development.
  • Upon completion, participant will be able to describe the value of using gnotobiotic models to study host development
  • Upon completion, participant will be able to understand how early life commensal microbes impact autoimmune diabetes.
