Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Dr. Katherine Donald is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, focusing on infant nutrition and health with an emphasis on the interplay between the gut microbiota and immune system development. Her research explores the critical role of early-life interactions between the microbiota and the immune system, particularly in the context of atopic disease. Donald's work investigates how secretory IgA in breast milk protects against asthma, modulating the gut microbiota to promote normal immune development. She has published on the impact of human milk oligosaccharides on allergic responses, and the role of human milk IgA in limiting Th17-inducing bacteria in the infant gut. Additionally, Dr. Donald's broader research interests include breastfeeding practices and influences, pediatric health, respiratory diseases, and smoking behavior and cessation.
