Microbial Volatiles

Lab at @QMUL studying the role of microbial and human volatile metabolites in health and disease.

PI: @abish_stephen

[Queen Mary University of London @QMUL]

Queen Mary has received a £1.3m @WolfsonFdn grant to establish a Health and Pollution Research Hub.

Led by Dr Vahitha Abdul Salam and Dr Abish Stephen, the Hub will explore how pollution impacts health.

🚨 New from us, analysing the dental #microbiome in kids with #primaryimmune deficiencies & gum disease after non-surgical therapy.

✅ ‘Health’-associated bacteria ↑
📉 Diversity stayed lower vs controls
🦷 Oral bacteria linked to neutrophil counts

Inferring metabolism without performing metabolomics. 🙃 Interesting study combining long-read sequencing for MAG recovery with short-read RNAseq to get at different microbial roles in carbon flow in anaerobic digesters. #Metagenomics #CarbonCycle

Functional metabolomics of the human scalp reveals a specific metabolic niche of Staphylococcus epidermidis, one of the key players of the human skin microbiome. The study, published in #mSystems, dives deeper into the interpretation of “omics” data. https://t.co/15XhRzdvMh

[GutMicrobiota Health @GMFHx]

Gut microbiota dysbiosis may play a role in ulcerative colitis by causing shifts in metabolomic profiles.

This new study describes individual metabolite trends post-fecal microbiota transplantation that could help patients with IBD:
