We have sequenced the microbiome of six Brazilian biomes: #Amazon, #AtlanticForest, #Cerrado, #Caatinga, #Pampa, and #Pantanal. This massive effort, led by my colleagues @Embrapa and my lab at @JCVenterInst had the goal to develop a deeper understanding of the foundation of our.

Summer Internships ✨.This summer at #JCVI, students in #STEM are exploring science in the areas of human biology, infectious diseases, oceanography and synthetic biology. My laboratory has 7 interns and the projects range from #inflammation, #LongCovid, #tissuepathogenesis. We

@cdc We detected the presence of Acinetobacter baumani in the serum of 23% individuals with T2D/T2DP tested. Same subjects showed elevated cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, MCP-1, IL-6, IL-8, and IFN-γ in Ab positive subjects. The is a clear correlation with #Chronic low grade inflammation.

The @CDC considers Acinetobacter baumannii to be a serious threat, especially in healthcare settings. A. baumannii is notorious for its ability to quickly develop resistance to multiple antibiotics, including carbapenems, which are often considered "last-resort" drugs. This makes.

🦠In our systemic #microbiome study, we found #pathogen A. baumannii in the blood of type 2 diabetics. Periodontitis- a gum disease- aggravates the pathology, significantly decreasing microbiome diversity and increasing #immune response dysregulation. The microbes in tissues can.

Quite the mind ♾️ open the heart. The meditation during my flight from NYC to LA was: When we look into the ashes, we find a small ember, then you blow on it. The ember gets stronger and we rebuild that fire. You & I - WE- are here to celebrate the fire 🔥✨🖤.
