Description
“The Vagina Dialogues: What’s Going on Down There?”
Dr. Larry Forney ---University of Idaho Biology Professor
Tuesday, September 16th 6pm-7:30pm
GIZMO – CDA: 806 N. 4th Street, Coeur d’Alene
Don’t let the title of the presentation scare you off, Dr. Forney’s research has focused on the study of the microbiota normally associated with the human body and their important influence on human development, physiology, immunity and nutrition. While a vast majority of these microbiota exist in a mutualistic relationship with their human host, others are opportunistic pathogens that can cause chronic infections and life-threatening diseases. He will discuss his lab’s focused research on the bacteria of the vagina and how they play a critical role in maintaining health by creating a low pH environment that is inhospitable to non-indigenous organisms.
