Excited to share our latest work out now in PNAS! Using @CHILDSTUDY human milk samples, we uncover a new link between maternal IgA, infant gut microbiota composition, and immune development. @FinlayLab @MeghanAzad @TurveyLab 🔗 pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

New research from the @Finlaylab has shown how breast milk might protect against the development of asthma in infants, and it’s thanks to effects on the #microbiome🦠. Learn more about the study, led by PhD candidate @Kate_Donald_, at: msl.ubc.ca/antibody-in-br…

Excited to share our latest work published in @CellReports! We found that SIgA in maternal milk promotes immune development and protects against a mouse model of asthma by targeting and limiting SFB in the mouse gut. @UBCMicroImmuno @ubcmsl @FinlayLab

Meet PhD candidates @Kate_Donald_ and Laura Stankiewicz - recipients of this year's William & Dorothy Gilbert Scholarship! 🥳👏 Learn more about their exceptional contributions to microbiology, immunology and stem cell research: bit.ly/2023Gilbert

🌲 📚 Weekend reading! Check out this @NatRevImmunol review about early-life interactions of #microbiota and our immune system, and their impact on immune mediated disease. ✏️ by @Kate_Donald_ & @FinlayLab. 📑: go.nature.com/3AYn4Hj

Excited to share our latest review on the role of the gut microbiota in immune development! @FinlayLab @NatRevImmunol
