ABOUT US.
The MOMMY project is a pioneering initiative led by The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine) and Microbiota I-Center (MagIC).
At the heart of the MOMMY project is a multidisciplinary team of of gastroenterologists, obstetricians, pediatricians, microbiologists, and other scientists united by a common goal: to advance our understanding of microbiome development during pregnancy and infancy.
Launched in 2019, MOMMY is dedicated to exploring the intricate relationship between early life microbiota and long-term health outcomes in children.
The MOMMY project is funded by the Hong Kong government’s InnoHK initiative, with additional support for the MOMMY-IBD sub-study from The Leona M. and B. Helmsley Charitable Trust.
