1/n On behalf of co-authors, excited to share our new GEM Project Study Gastroenterology, which shows evidence for the first time that gut microbiome composition is associated with future risk of Crohn’s disease in a prospective cohort following 3483 healthy first-degree relatives

As promised. Herculean effort by our MAST Research Program and Gabriela Leite, PhD to technically define #SIBO. We define the bugs, cutoff, correct media to find SIBO, the right catheter to use, and symptoms! This paper sets stage for treatment. #microbiome CGH cghjournal.org/article/S1542-…

We are hiring! This is a great opportunity to join The ⁦ABC-QI Trial⁩ team as a research assistant in Calgary. static.ucalgary.ca/Careers%20at%2…

A podcast with Bercik-Collins Lab lab on gut bacteria and gut brain axis.

CP24 Breakfast with Williams Turpin talking about the gut microbiome as a potential trigger of Crohn’s disease based on our recent publication GEM Project Ken Croitoru Sinai Health Crohn's and Colitis Canada University of Toronto Gastroenterology+Hepatology Dr Mark Silverberg @WeizmanMD @laura_targownik Vivian Huang, MD Hillary Steinhart

Just as with a healthy human fetus, or blood, or internal organs such as the brain, there is also no microbiome within tumors. Shows how important it is to not solely rely on sequencing but also apply additional tools (e.g. culture) and critical thinking.

Alterations in the gut microbiome have been associated with IBD. New research from McMaster University now implicates bacterial proteases in Crohn’s disease: gutmicrobiotaforhealth.com/study-identifi…

Together with Liam O'Mahony, we are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for our Microbe Restore team. Please consider (or share) if you have a strong expertise in immunology and mouse models of autoimmunity. Search 072031 on ore.ucc.ie for details. Deadline Nov. 24.

Jens Walter Fantastic opportunity to take part in this cutting edge project!

New content online: Effects of dietary fibre on metabolic health and obesity dlvr.it/T2SLR7

So happy to be able to share our article on the interactions between metabolic health, fiber, and obesity trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_contentb22…

Increased consumption of dietary fiber has the potential to induce specific benefits relevant for the treatment of obesity and metabolic syndrome. This timely review from Karen Madsen et al. in Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology updates major advances in the field: nature.com/articles/s4157…

Congrats to Dr. Anissa Armet, PhD, RD for not only graduating, but also for being awarded the PhD thesis award at University of Alberta. It was and is a privilege to work with a scientist of her caliber, and I am looking forward to publish the exciting experimental work from her thesis.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Steve Collins for your dedication and incredible impact! 🙌 As we turn the page, we’re excited to welcome Dr. Elena Verdu to lead us into a bright new chapter! 🚀 #Gratitude #Leadership #Teamwork Verdu Lab Bercik-Collins Lab McMaster Health Sciences

Omg. Now Trudeau is trolling Trump. This. Is. Awesome. ❤️🇨🇦

Last night, the Russian army struck the center of Dobropillya in the Donetsk region with two ballistic missiles. After our emergency services arrived at the scene, they launched another strike, deliberately targeting the rescuers. This is a vile and inhumane intimidation tactic

Today, all day long, work continued in the city of Dobropillya, the Donetsk region, following a Russian strike. It was one of the most brutal attacks, a combined strike carefully planned to cause maximum damage. Missiles, along with Shahed drones, targeted the central part of the
