About

Nafissa Ismail is a Full Professor at the University of Ottawa, Canada. Her research interests include the impact of the maternal microbiome on neonatal immune development, the neurobiological insights into the mental health burden of polycystic ovary syndrome, and the role of hormonal contraceptives. She has authored several recent articles on topics such as the gut microbiome's response to environmental enrichment and the interactions between psychobiotics and the microbiota-gut-brain axis.
