📣 Conference Announcement! @StrowigLab, Lisa Maier and I have organized a stellar lineup of speakers from different corners of the Microbiome field for the 17th SeeOn Conference in picturesque Bavaria. Open to all! Abstracts due April 6th. Please Retweet!

🌟 Exciting news! 🌟 The 14th International Gut Microbiology Symposium🧬 is coming to Clermont-Ferrand, France, from June 3-5, 2025. 💡 Submit your abstracts and register today! 📅 Abstract deadline: February 21, 2025 👉 https://t.co/s8Ryq90yZb #IGSM2025 #MicrobiotaResearch

Please RT, because we are all „Born to be Wild“ and it really is time to think about reproducibility in biomedical research! A big THANK YOU to the brilliant Philipp Bruno and Thomas Schüler! @TrendsImmuno @CellPressNews #wildlings https://t.co/zDKitCyUbj @UniFAU @Hornegger #HTA

We seek a #microbiology #postdoc to study host - #microbiome interactions. Experience in #omics (Tn-seq, RNA-seq, #metabolomics) highly valued! Details in the picture attached. Be part of our new group @COSHeidelberg in a competitive and beautiful campus! Please RT 🙏

I am hiring a Research Assistant (Microbiology)! We are expanding our team at @UccMicrobiology and @Pharmabiotic studying nutritional- and microbiome-based approaches to improve human health . Search 080852 on https://t.co/02Tp806u5X for full details. Deadline 8th November 2024.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be setting sail into new waters! I've recently been appointed Chair of Intestinal Microbiome at @TU_Muenchen and will be soon transitioning to #TUMSchoolofLifeSciences in Freising. #PhD and #Postdoc positions available- please share!

One of the most controversial issues in microbiome research is the definition of a ‘healthy’ human #microbiome. Enjoyed contributing to this perspective on the progress made and the key gaps that remain to be addressed to fully harness the benefits of the human microbiome.

We have a #PhDposition to investigate host - #microbiome interactions using #Drosophila and model gut #bacteria. Details in the picture attached. Be part of our new group @COSHeidelberg in beautiful Heidelberg! Please RT

A gut bacterium trims mucosal immunity #ResearchHighlight In this study, Lu et al. identify the gut symbiont Tomasiella immunophila as a contributor to the degradation of murine secretory immunoglobulin A, with effects on mucosal immunity.

Balancing act: counteracting adverse drug effects on the microbiome @lab_maier and colleagues discuss recent advances on minimizing the collateral damage of drugs on the microbiome in this exciting Opinion piece https://t.co/Oi8MuZNrkc

#FMT , the French experience Several important lessons ! FREE in APT @GFTFofficiel @DrBenechNicolas @APHP @Inserm @FaculteSanteSU https://t.co/3B63JjcQoL

I would like to remind everyone on the pitfalls of studying low-biomass samples, which we discussed in our paper here: https://t.co/Wrphu5HdYK. So no, you do not have a microbiome in your brain.

Whenever someone finds 100,000 species per sample that contain plant or alga-like organism, the methods are rubbish and there is certainly contamination. See paper below. "...no evidence supporting the hypothetical presence of a brain microbiome". https://t.co/dANVSFCO5w

Gut bacteria identified which can degrade IgA. Read more here https://t.co/EGXpblKOBX and in this Perspective

The renaissance of oral tolerance: merging tradition and new insights https://t.co/Tl2eQrocMP

Researchers at Umeå University and Tartu University have found that a history of repeated antibiotic use causes defects in the normally protective mucus barrier of the gut, due to antibiotic-driven alterations in the microbiota. https://t.co/pHDBAcNlZQ

Interested in the absolute quantification of bacterial strains in fecal samples? My group has used qPCR for more than 10 years with good success, and we now published a step-by-step protocol for the design of strain-specific qPCR assays in @MicrobiomeJ. https://t.co/6HYldiQetb

I am pleased to share our latest work with you. The intestine is not only an entry point for nutrients, it can also store them. We used Drosophila to discover the mechanisms that control the fate of dietary fats in enterocytes.

Consider joining us in #Paris for an @Inserm symposium on the #Microbiota with an outstanding line-up of speakers - including @clavellab @mcarmen_collado @MDesai_Lab @segal_eran @nsegata @VerduLab @BelkaidLab AND IT'S FREE (but mandatory to register)
