ifidobacteria are among the first microbes to colonise

the gut and are being purported as beneficial for human

health. Several research studies have reported that lower

abundance of bifidobacteria in the gut precedes disease

development, including gut disorders, allergy, obesity and

mental disorders. Increasingly, bifidobacteria have been

integrated into a range of food products and supplements

as functional probiotics ingredients. It has been speculated

that bifidobacteria supplementation during pregnancy and

in the neonatal period might reduce some maternal and

neonatal adverse outcomes. However, not all bifidobacteria

are the same, and not all confer the same benefits to the

host. It is increasingly evident that there are subtle but

important differences between bifidobacterial species of

different residential origins. This presentation will delve

into the superiority of Human-Residential Bifidobacteria

(HRB), which are the natural inhabitants of human intestine,

and their roles in driving maternal and infantwellbeing.

Speaker Biography

Chyn Boon Wong, received

B.Sc

. Degree with first class honours in

Microbiology in 2011 from the University of Putra Malaysia, and PhD

from University Sains Malaysia in 2016, specializing in the development

of lactic acid bacteria and their bioactive molecules as nutraceuticals.

In December 2016, she joined Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd. Japan

and has been engaged in research activities related to the functional

benefits of probiotics. Her main research interest focuses on the role

of the gut microbiota member, bifidobacteria, in human health. She

has been conducted research to explore the new functionality of

bifidobacteria and the significance of the use of human-residential

bifidobacteria (HRB) for human supplementation. She has been the

recipient of USM Fellowship in University Sains Malaysia for three

consecutive years, and the participant of Regional Bio-Asia Program in

Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), Angers-Nantes, France in 2013.
