I’ll be presenting LAMPP—our live, standardized benchmark for host phenotype prediction from metagenomics.

🧬 Is our current benchmarking paradigm holding us back? How can live benchmarking change how the microbiome research community tackles one of the most fundamental tasks in the field?

Attending the Ilanit Conference this week? (or chilling on the beach? I don't blame you if you do)

Let's chat! 🤩

Also, come catch my flashtalk tomorrow (Tuesday) at 16:00 - I’ll present our framework for tackling a major challenge in predicting disease from microbiome data! 📊

New preprint alert + a call for a community effort! 📢 🧬
​Predicting host phenotypes (healthy/sick) from metagenomics is key to clinical translation. But while new tools keep coming out, researchers simply use Random Forest. Are newer methods worth the additional effort?

📢 Welcoming aensemble to the LAMPP Benchmark!

It’s one thing to build a benchmark, but it’s another to see the community engage with it... A huge shoutout to Radboudumc's Cancer Microbiology Group (GUTS) for submitting their tool, aensemble, to the LAMPP benchmark!

[Netta Barak @NettaBarak]

💪 This is exactly why we built LAMPP: to provide a transparent, head-to-head comparison of how prediction methods handle gut metagenomics data.

Hello Seoul!
I'm excited to present PHLAME, our new live benchmark for predicting host phenotypes from metagenomics.

Come visit my poster, and stay tuned for the lightening talk tomorrow (Friday 12:45)

#IHMC2024 was great! Presenting my work utilizing graph theory for metagenomic analysis is always fun... But the real fun was meeting some great researchers (and Rome was a nice addition😉)

[Chiara Mazzoni @SmilingChiara]

Excited to join #IHMC2024 in Rome to talk about IBD and bacterial adaptation!
My talk is on Sunday at 15.50, come say Hi!
Check out also @NettaBarak and her talk on mapping genes to species (Sunday 12.30)

[Netta Barak @NettaBarak]

On my way to #IHMC2024 to present my new approach for analyzing bacterial communities using graph theory! Come say hi! Sunday 12:30
Also come check out @SmilingChiara's talk on IBD at 15:30
