Dear all, we decided to leave twitter / X You can find us on Bluesky:

Our Consensus statement on #microbiome testing in clinical practice is out in @LancetGastroHep! https://t.co/atqPLiYJE7 Here we recommend how to standardise the framework for test release (indications, pre-testing protocols, sequencing & analysis, result reporting). A thread🧵⬇️

Congratulations to Laura Bolte @umcg. Cum Laude distinction for her PhD studying the relation between #diet #microbiome and #immunity in #ibd and response to immune checkpoint inhibition. Work in her PhD thesis has been published in @NatureMedicine @Gut_BMJ and @JAMAOnc

📢 New Study Alert! 📢Happy to share the latest results from the Lifelines NEXT Mother-Infant cohort! (1/8). Here we profile the gut microbiome in 4,577 longitudinal samples from 714 mother-infant pairs, from 12 weeks of pregnancy to 1 year post-birth https://t.co/KUiz6Usz9D

I am incredibly proud that 2 out of the 5 top abstracts #UEGWeek are from our department @umcg (out of >3500 abstracts). Huge congratulations to @BourgonjeArno and Anne van der Waai for their groundbreaking work and this important recognition! @my_UEG @LifelinesNL @researchumcg

Amazing meeting at the Paris Immuno-Oncology Conference 2024! So much food for thought from top leaders in microbiome and immunology: @EranElinav, @derosa__lisa, @nsegata, @WeersmaLab, and more. Honored to present our latest work published in @NatImmunol with @julienCMarie1.

The gut microbiome acetyltransferase genes were involved in the metabolism of 5-ASA in IBD. However, new findings from @WeersmaLab et al. didn't replicate the original findings: https://t.co/aO9q6Qwvgd

here's the working link to the paper (open access)

Exploring the previously reported gut #microbiome acetyltransferase genes involved in metabolism of 5-ASA in #ibd we could not replicate the original findings from @NatureMedicine in our Dutch 1000IBD cohort. More work needed. @GroMicrobiome https://t.co/o5ckLJrj9J

In contrast to previous reports we found limited predictive value of the gut #microbiome (and #metabolome) for response to biological therapy in #IBD Still small sample sizes but relatively similar to other studies. @GroMicrobiome @umcgmdl @researchumcg https://t.co/QReDbXNB8G

(1/6) 📢 New Study Alert! In our randomized controlled trial we compare the gut microbiomes of infants whose mothers received prophylactic antibiotics pre-incision versus post umbilical cord clamping.🤰 https://t.co/9LGkvzLJUW

Time to slice some fresh ideas…gut microbiome ,genes, IBD …great to reunite with our team & look forward for more learnings & collaborations @DrThelma @GarimaJuyal @dr_singh_gastro @WeersmaLab @RGacesa @Dr Ajit Sood
