UCLA Life Sciences

September 18, 2024

Today, UCLA Health reports on a recent study published by researchers in the UCLA Brain and Body Lab (BABLab). They found that youth who experienced caregiving adversity (mistreated or in foster care) had less variety and more disease-causing bacteria in their oral microbiome, compared to youth who lived with their biological families. The publication’s lead author is psychology Ph.D. student Naomi Gancz and the senior author is Dr. Bridget Callaghan, an assistant professor of psychology and director of the BABLab.
