13 Mar 2020 --- DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences is embarking on a four-year project with the APC Microbiome Ireland SFI Research Centre to rebalance the gut bacteria of babies after antibiotics or Caesarean-section births. The €6.3 million (US$7 million) “Missing Microbes in Infants born by C-section” (MiMIC) project aims to develop microbiome-based solutions to help establish a healthy microbiome in early life to facilitate the long-term health of individuals. This collaboration is likely to lead to a wealth of new products for the lucrative infant microbiome market, which DuPont expects to come to market during a three to five-year time horizon.
