Hello everybody,

Today I am posting up a powerpoint I have presented in front of 8 scientists for general approval of my research project. I am sharing it because it describes the background, the hypothesis, the materials and methods and the expected results. I hope it will help you to better understand this project ! Do not hesitate if you need more information on the content of this powerpoint. Thank you

About This Project

Necrotizing enterocolitis is a severe inflammatory gastrointestinal disease and is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality (30-50%) in preterm neonates. An altered newborn's gut microbiota plays a major role in this condition. We hypothesize that secreted factors from one probiotic, Bifidobacterium infantis, could exert anti-inflammatory effects in the newborn's intestine. These observations might lead to ways to prevent excessive intestinal inflammation causing necrotizing enterocolitis.
