PhD student @TartuMicrobiome @ESTbiobank @genomicstartu. Intrigued by microbiome & antibiotics use in #EstMB cohort

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

Our exciting work about long term drug (not only antibiotics!) effects out now

[genomicstartu @genomicstartu]

Editor's Pick! 💊 Medications taken years ago can continue to shape the human gut microbiome, according to a large-scale study from the University of Tartu Institute of Genomics.

I know, I know. I’m horrible in keeping my feed up to date, but hey - doesn’t make this less of an achievement that PhD is officially done with record high attendance at the defence!

Thanks to all people making it possible and @TypasLab for great & thought-provoking discussions

[genomicstartu @genomicstartu]

Congratulations Doctor ⁦@KKrigul⁩ 🥳 excellent work, beautiful presentation, brilliant scientist! 💙

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

Our summer days have always been awesome. The tradition continued also this year

[Lili Milani @MilaniLili]

Smooth transition back to work @genomicstartu summer days 🤩

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

Very excited that the final part of my PhD thesis on how #antibiotics usage long time ago can impair #gut #mucus function through the #microbiota is now published in Gut Microbes @tandfonline!

Time to graduate and then…?

[Bjo:rn Schro:der @bo_schroeder]

Extremely happy to share that our work on how #antibiotics usage long time ago can impair #gut #mucus function through the #microbiota is now published in Gut Microbes @tandfonline!

@KPantiukh @oliver @org_elin @TartuMicrobiome Special thanks to Cruffin croissants haha ❤️

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

A new pre-print out lead by @KPantiukh!
Estonians, although being part of much studied Westernized populations, can still be used for discovering potentially new and relevant microbial species in the gut. Even more than 300 of them! Discovery phase in microbiome still ongoing🔬

[Kateryna Pantiukh 🇺🇦 @KPantiukh]

‼️🦠 Excited to share my very first preprint on new Estonian #Microbiome MAGs from @ESTbiobank! Discoveries include a new bacteria  from #humangut linked to prevalent diseases.

And this girl (me!) can officially defend her PhD! Vacation - is this you?!

[Bjo:rn Schro:der @bo_schroeder]

Fantastic news before the summer:
Our work on how a history of #antibiotic usage affects #gutmicrobiota and #mucus function is now accepted for publication (stay tuned!)!
Big congratulations @KKrigul, @rachelfeen and everyone involved!

When you open Nature Briefing e-mail and find a news snippet about the work done in our institute. Proud of my colleagues and the things you do in small Estonia! We have the coolest workplace and most awesome colleagues @ESTbiobank @genomicstartu

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

Presenting our pre-print today at 16:30 Room Q, Poster Area 3. Come and grab some stickers on how history of antibiotics use results in higher abundance of mucus lovers and leads to mucus defects

@SerenaManara @svetlana_up @MicrobiomeVIF @Azufre451 @LeviWaldron1 @nsegata Still dont know how I managed to pull that off… Maybe I need the fever next time as well 😀

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

When my "gut feeling" becomes a final paper for my PhD! Using carefully selected FMT donors from #EstMB, we show that repeated antibiotics use in the past => weaker mucus layer + increase in mucus degraders (Akkermansia muciniphila, Bacteroides fragilis + others)🧵

🚨 Excited to share our new #preprint how repeated courses of #antibiotics can affect the intestinal #mucus layer! A🧵: https://t.co/k2kPjjsg91

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

@svetlana_up @MicrobiomeVIF @SerenaManara @Azufre451 @LeviWaldron1 @nsegata Hopefully this time I wont be having 39C fever 🙏😆

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

@svetlana_up @MicrobiomeVIF @SerenaManara @Azufre451 @LeviWaldron1 @nsegata I did promise to be back with new results last time! 😅 Maybe it is indeed time to submit a new abstract and see your lovely faces again ❤️

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

@koutchoukalimar We just like to watch the world burn

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

Yes. Tartu Microbiome team finally has Twitter/X. Do follow us and come meet most of our team @EMBLEvents Microbiome Symposium #EESMicrobiome

[Tartu_Microbiome @TartuMicrobiome]

Not that we didn't do science before, but we are finally here! Come meet us at #EESMicrobiome @org_elin @oliveraasmets @KaterinaPantiuk @KKrigul @NeleTaba @jaagura

Second year in a row, the best prize in trial BSc/MSc defences gets awarded to my student. It does make all the long hours worth it. Congrats to Claudia and Linda for being awesome #proudsupervisor @icosagen @unitartu

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

@FaPuertolas @ESTbiobank @researchestonia @unitartu As are you, Miss!

[Kertu Liis Krigul @KKrigul]

As a microbiome scientist, I find myself being involved in both worlds - doing experiments as well as coding behind the computer screen. I am very interested in how we can improve antibiotics use keeping our gut happy and resistance low #MinaUurin #NaisedTeaduses #WomenInScience
