Pleased to announce that our latest paper is published in Cell!
We developed a novel ML model that predicts fecal microbial load from relative species profiles, revealing it as a key factor shaping gut microbiome variation and disease-microbe associations

Microbial solutions must be deployed against climate catastrophe
Repeat after me…
@gilbertjacka & colleagues publish same article in 14 different journals in a call to arms to “harness the power of microbiology…. to safeguard the planet for future generations”
🌍 Just published in 14+ journals! AMI & global leaders call for microbial solutions to tackle climate change. Let’s harness nature’s power to capture carbon & restore ecosystems—time to act! 🧬🌱 #ClimateAction #MicrobialSolutions #COP29Baku

Researchers from UZH have used artificial intelligence to detect antibiotic resistance in bacteria for the first time. This is an important first step toward integrating GPT-4 into clinical diagnostics. news.uzh.ch/en/articles/medi…

Episode 32: Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
For millennia, society has wrestled with the best methods for raising children. Only one woman was brave enough to give the real answer: scream at them until they play the piano.

Acrolein is envrnmntl toxicant & gut microbial metabolite. But hard to do in vitro tox! we developed acrolein biosynthesis system compatible with human cell culture.Awesome team effort including student projects & mentor- congrats!! @ChemResTox pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Wow, @nature has retracted the 2020 Poore et al. cancer microbiome paper that we showed (journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…) was deeply flawed. The retraction date is tomorrow so I can't yet read the official notice, but I'll update when I can @RetractionWatch @ProfBootyPhD

Excited to share that I'll start my lab @GeiselMed as an assistant professor in July 2025! We will build a hybrid lab that focuses on microbial metabolism & human gut microbiome. We're hiring at all levels. Especially seeking experimental microbiologists for the wet lab work!

Excited to share our preprint on bacterial adaptation to pH 🦠! Excellent work team! @swoodww @LaurelMNeufeld @WennyFeng @_AntonioSerapio @FinlayLab
Latest preprint from @FinlayLab on pH adaptation in Citrobacter rodentium feat. surprising host pH responses post-infection. Huge shoutout to stellar undergrad researchers @LaurelMNeufeld and @WennyFeng and of course, our whole team (@jorgepena9 @_AntonioSerapio & Isabel Tarrant)

A new pre-print from our lab is out! Congratulations, Nize! Our data suggest that early life traumatic #stress can induce changes in the fecal microbial community that may be perpetuated from the exposed parent to their offspring. #Microbiota #Gut #Brain biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

HAS cordially invites you to join us at our upcoming general assembly!
In this GA, we will briefly recap our activities, vote on a budget for 2024 and have replacement elections. All participants are then kindly invited to a little apéro afterwards.

Thank you so much, @impetusgrants and anonymous reviewers, for supporting our project where we will create biomarkers at the very core of the aging mechanism - DNA damage and repair. Looking forward to great discoveries with @ProfessorShana and our collaborator @MikeMacArthur8
There are many ways to measure DNA damage, yet no responsive biomarkers! @vakil_takhaveev @ProfessorShana @Toxicology_ETH @ETH_en are using novel DNA-damage-sequencing methods in mouse models to discover mechanistic biomarkers implicated in aging. They are hiring a PhD student!
