Maxime Naour, a PhD candidate at UMR PhAN, will deliver an oral presentation entitled "Early-life exposures and functional maturation trajectories of the infant gut microbiome: Insights from a longitudinal meta-analysis" (Naour M, Dufeil A, Michel C, Chaffron S, Blottière H) at the international congress "The Microbiome Throughout the Life", held from March 19 to 21, 2026, in Belgrade, Serbia. This congress focuses on the role of the microbiome across all stages of life, from the perinatal period to aging, and its implications for human health. The study presented by Maxime Naour is based on a longitudinal meta-analysis of approximately 12,000 fecal metagenomes from 25 international pediatric cohorts, aiming to characterize the impact of perinatal exposures (mode of delivery, feeding practices, antibiotic exposure) on the functional maturation of the infant gut microbiome.

As part of GOS2 (Grand Strategic Objective 2 of the INRAE AlimH Department), its coordinators Vincent Paillé, researcher at the PhAN joint research unit, Stéphanie Chambaron-Ginhac, and David Val-Laillet, are pleased to invite you to their Cross-Perspective Webinar entitled: “Plant-Forward Diets: Between Social Acceptability and Real-World Practices”. This webinar, featuring sociologist Clémentine Hugol-Gential and chef Gregoire Maille, will be held on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at 2:00 pm. Two perspectives—social sciences and hands-on culinary practice—to successfully transition toward more plant-based menus.
