Long-term Stabilization of Live Biotherapeutics for Neonatal and Female Health

Published in MSRP Research Symposium, ABRCMS, 2024

This work came out of my MSRP summer research, optimizing chemical excipients in formulations with L. crispatus and B. infantis in order to make better live biotherapeutics. The same poster was presented at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS) 2024 conference. Contact for poster availability.
