🎉 Exciting news! Led by @mackgutierrezz, our latest on the gut mycobiome and its role in metabolic health is now published in @NatureComms ! 🧫🍄 Explore how fungal colonization influences obesity and metabolic inflammation in mice. https://t.co/5kMWj3Bu4O 🧵
CIHR funding rate: 13.6%.
Early 2000s: 30%+.
Canada’s new $1.7B Impact+ program recruits talent — but without increased Tri-Council base funding, we risk further strain on an already stretched system.
We’re calling for $1B over 5 years.

Children born extremely preterm are born in the midst of a cytokine storm, its barrier tissues are poorly developed and they require invasive procedures which is associated with high risks of infections and inflammatory complications. Better understanding of how immune cells evolve in such children is needed and here @BunmiOlaloye@LizaKonnikova lab provide important insights towards this: https://t.co/9jApJeyOWE
