Historically, the biological effects of microbiome-derived metabolites have been difficult to characterize, but a recent @iScience_CP paper (featuring research from @DukeUBME) presents a new, cutting-edge approach that leverages machine learning. https://t.co/MMh2lHvl5X
We're onto Translational Microbiome Research: One standout presentation is from Dr. Mara Serbanescu with @Duke_Anesthesia, who is investigating how the prevalence of gut-derived microbes in the bloodstream can correlate with ICU stay duration #NCMicrobiomeSymposium
Today is the #NCMicrobiomeSymposium, hosted by @ncbiotech! The event kicked off with multiple talks on Microbiome Methodological Advances, including DMC member Dr. Shuo Han whose lab is identifying new gut bacteria that impact lifespan. https://t.co/6Q8OYwjplf
Microbial communities play a crucial role in shaping environments, but how can we predict their behavior? Dr. Ophelia Venturelli in @DukeUBME is investigating the potential of machine learning in this context https://t.co/RXXuUxe8uJ #NCMicrobiomeSymposium
Congrats to Noelle Younge (Associate Professor of Pediatrics, @DukeMedSchool) who was recently awarded a five-year @NIH grant, "Mechanisms of microbial regulation of postnatal growth and lipid metabolism."
A new journal article in @FoodRSC highlights dietary genomics as a scalable, data-driven tool for monitoring nutrition interventions and informing childhood malnutrition programs. Read more about this research, led by @DukeMGM grad Dr. Ammara Aqeel. https://t.co/Ywa6QAPEML
Congratulations to Dr. Neil Surana @DukeMicrobiome for his receipt on one of the inaugural Microbiome Accelerator Program Awards, a collaboration b/w Nature Awards and Seed Health. @DukePedsRes@DukeMGM@ImmunologyDuke https://t.co/Y04vtskwaH
Respiratory infections often become serious for younger populations. Globally, over 700,000 kids die each year of pneumonia. Matthew Kelly, MD, MPH, is working to help children avoid respiratory diseases. One possible solution; the nasal microbiome.
