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.
