UC Davis Health AAFSA Black History Month Events!

02/09/2022

Health Education and Leadership Series (H.E.A.L):
Diabetes and The Black Community
February 10, 2022 @ 1pm

UC Davis Assistant adjunct professor Dr. Candice Price discusses her most recent work in examining gut bacteria profiles in Black and white women from the National Health and Growth Study.
This study addresses gaps of inclusion in microbiome research and suggests an impact of our social environment on our health from the inside out.

The excitement and wealth of information shared within this article within the UC Davis Insider Gut bacteria differences between Black and white women linked to insulin sensitivity built up interest and motivated us to invite Dr. Price to have a brief discussion. Stay tuned and join us for an exciting conversation!
