Join my lab Blizard Institute for a 3 year Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research funded post-doc exploring how glycans shape the skin microbiome and colonisation resistance in #amphibians!!!! qmul-jobs.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/ap…

Really interesting study led by Liam O’Mahony suggesting that tryptophan metabolites like indole-3-propionate (IPA), which are produced by the #microbiome, may reduce risk of severe and chronic outcomes to SARS-CoV-2 (#COVID19 ) infection. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

🔬🦠 Nice insights on next steps for microbiome-targeted therapies from Marie-Claire Arrieta Bäckhed Lab Kenya Honda & others. Lots of potential for phage, defined consortia, next-gen probiotics, postbiotics

🦠👬 Social networks influence your gut microbiome, including family, friends and even friends' friends. The more time you spend with someone, the more similar your microbiomes... Fascinating work from Francesco Beghini and Nicholas A. Christakis nature.com/articles/s4158…


☕ Drinking coffee is associated with significant changes the gut microbiome, particularly increased Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus, & elevated quinic acid in blood. Importantly, this is replicated across geographies. Interesting work from Segata Lab nature.com/articles/s4156…



Félicitations Chassaing Laboratory 🎉

🔬🧫🦠 We have a fully-funded PhD fellowship, co-supervised by myself, Dr. Tina Chowdhury & Stefaan Verbruggen at Queen Mary University of London that will involve developing novel organ-on-chip technologies to study the vaginal microbiome. Deadline 6th January! cpm.qmul.ac.uk/cdt/applicatio…


Delighted to share the first peer-reviewed paper from our team Cambridge Vet School Cambridge University where we investigate the ecological dynamics of Enterobacteriaceae in the human gut #microbiome: nature.com/articles/s4156… Nature Microbiology

"Early life microbial succession in the gut follows common patterns in humans across the globe" #GutMicrobiome Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…




Exciting work by David Lynn and colleagues demonstrating that the early-life gut microbiome, specifically abundance of Biidobacteria, mediates responses to vaccination
