Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $154,000 over two years to Cornell University to support a study led by Dr. Ria Goswami of how preterm infants’ microbiomes change when the mother is infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV).
Goswami’s work will be part of a larger study on how CMV-infected milk impacts survival and growth of preterm infants.
This falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of scientific research.
