🦠 New paper out today in @CellSystemsCP! ISB researchers show how personalized gut models can predict – and help prevent – dangerous C. diff infections before they strike. Cell Systems paper: .ISB news story:

ISB scientists have developed a simple, low-cost method to measure the total amount of bacteria in the gut using existing sequencing data. This breakthrough could speed up microbiome research and unlock new insights into health and disease.

What’s next for #LongCovid research? RECOVER 2.0 aims to define long-term disease trajectories and test new treatments. Watch @isbsci's recent town hall conversation with researchers and coordinators from @ProvSwedish @UWMedicine & @CedarsSinai

Announcing the initial public release of the Biomedical Data Translator, a powerful open-source knowledge graph-based system designed to integrate and harmonize vast, complex biomedical datasets to accelerate translational science and patient care.

Join us on Monday, July 28 from 5 - 6 p.m. for a virtual event on Long COVID research, hosted by the PNW Consortium of the RECOVER study. Following talks, audience members can ask questions directly to the panel during a live Q&A. Register:
