3, 2, 1...🚀The One Health Microbiome Center Annual Microbiome Kickstart Workshop is underway with a room of undergrads to faculty from multiple Penn State campuses. Covering experimental design to bioinformatics, new scholars and community members are growing right here.


Today our Microbiome Kickstart Workshop is delivering hands-on training in 16S and ITS seq data analysis! 📊 This section is led by Dr. Erika Ganda + Sharifa Crandall , with help from Emily Davenport, Ana Fonseca, & Samantha Seibel!


Calling all #virology and #microbiology friends who are on the faculty job market: Penn State Biology department & Penn State BMB have multiple faculty openings with ads up now! Link #1 of 4 here -- this one's theme is Evolutionary Genomics (open topic): tinyurl.com/5dj7s7bb

We’re hiring a Research Administrative Director for a new Center that will be launching at CHOP Research this Fall! Come help us improve pediatric health at the Center for Microbial Medicine! More details on the Center to follow soon! careers.chop.edu/xxWP6tN

Very excited to share our work published in Science! In collaboration with Paras Minhas, MD, PhD and the Andreasson Lab at Stanford, we uncovered that modulating glucose metabolism through IDO1 inhibitors can restore cognition across Alzheimer’s pathologies! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The Holobiont Tangled Bank: Madangchanok Imchen shows that gut bacteria in flies can influence the adaptation and copy counts of an endosymbiont. Similarly, the endosymbiont can increase gut bacteria cells. What a network within. With Rupinder Kaur, PhD Angelina McGarry biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

📢Our new paper is out! We show that gene regulation in breastmilk is controlled by maternal genetics, and impacts the composition of the infant gut microbiome cell.com/cell-genomics/… Work by Kelsey Johnson, in collab w/Frank Albert @DemerathE and many others


Delighted to share our work developing an mRNA vaccine for C. difficile, published today in Science Magazine. This study with The Drew Weissman Lab was co-led by two truly amazing scientists: Alexa Sem from the Zackular lab and Mohamad-Gabriel Alameh (now at CHOP Research)! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…



Just landed in Denver and I’m excited for #ASHG24! I’ll be giving a talk on Friday at 1:30 based on my postdoc work at Stanford - we’re studying rare non-coding variants with deep learning in collab w/ Soumya Kundu Anshul Kundaje (anshulkundaje@bluesky) @sbmontgom . Hope to see you there!


Our Nepali oral microbiomes preprint has been published! Thank you to Aashish Jha and Emily Davenport for this amazing opportunity, our co-authors for their invaluable contributions, and the Nepali communities that graciously partook in this study



We are glad to present our exploration of aging, dietary restriction, genetics, and the microbiome, led by levlitichev, together with our collaborators The Jackson Laboratory and Calico, just published at Nature Microbiology. Major findings are the following: (1/8) nature.com/articles/s4156…
