Ever wondered how to #forecast a complex #microbiome? Check out our latest paper @NatureEcoEvo! We predict gene abundance and expression for 5⃣ years into the future. 👉 https://t.co/MkAWTPC0hZ

[Ben Kunath @BenoitKunath]

Meta-omic data is great to find new and relevant cazymes. But finding them is not always straight forward and new tools and approaches can help you. This new book chapter from @alessferrillo will nicely guide you through all the important steps 👇

[Norwegian Society for Microbiology (NFM) @NFM_Norway]

Deadline for abstract submissions has been extended to Oct 17th! NFM welcomes all microbiologists especially our ECRs as this is a great opportunity to present your work and meet you local colleagues!

[Ben Kunath @BenoitKunath]

@claczny @wilmeslab That’s pretty cool. That pathway was proposed in the must paper but we couldn’t go much further

[wilmeslab @wilmeslab]

📢 Coming soon

Happy to announce that our latest work on the presence and dissemination of #AntibioticResistanceGenes in wastewater treatment plants is now accepted in @eLife! 🎉🥳

MEMOgroup + friends (previous and highly missed members of the team) had a blast at #ISME18 with awesome science and equally awesome people 🥳🤩🦠

[Ben Kunath @BenoitKunath]

Human Pyramides at the pyramides de Vidy #Lausanne during the South American festival and Ecuador day. That’s a nice way to start #ISME18

[wilmeslab @wilmeslab]

#ISME18 is just around the corner and it’s time for all the world’s microbiologists🧑‍🔬👩‍💻 and 🦠 aficionados to gather in #Lausanne, Switzerland. The #SystemsEcology group @wilmeslab @lcsb_uni_lu @uni_lu has an exciting🤩 and diverse lineup.
Check it out 👇🧵

[Ben Kunath @BenoitKunath]

Let’s see what I can make out of this Triangle!!! 🤞

[Ben Kunath @BenoitKunath]

I’m proud to share that I got my own @FnrLux INTER Mobility Grant to visit, learn from and work with @Manuel_Kleiner. I’ll thus be visiting @NCState very soon! Let’s make some more ground truth and do some quantification for #metaproteomics !

[wilmeslab @wilmeslab]

And we're off 🚀 #EMBOmicrobial!

@MicroSysEco and @_A_H_B_ starting Day 1⃣

Thanks to the great support by @EMBO @elixir_lu

[Metaproteomics Initiative @MetaP_Init]

We plan to organize a #workshop on Functional #Microbiome Analysis for researchers in #Africa, where worldwide experts will teach the interactive courses. Please indicate your interest in attending via https://t.co/muhztPR4nV #metagenomics #metatranscriptomics #metaproteomics

[Ben Kunath @BenoitKunath]

Well that was journey but super happy to share this massive comprehensive work on xanthan gum consumption by the gut microbiota with @SabinaLLaRosa @mattostrowski2 @LiveHHagen @ThePopeLab and @EricCMartens1 it has everything! https://t.co/OoVxH4ifv0

[Phil b. Pope @ThePopeLab]

Super fun collaboration that started with a chat with @EricCMartens1 while waiting for a bus. Massive congrats to our team @SabinaLLaRosa @LiveHHagen and @BenoitKunath and of course huge thanks to @mattostrowski2 🙏

[Ben Kunath @BenoitKunath]

And she’s done! Congratz @LauradeNies

[Ben Kunath @BenoitKunath]

PhD students defending their thesis are sometimes subject to stress. That’s why here at @wilmeslab we keep them behind glass walls!! But so far so good ;)

[Ben Kunath @BenoitKunath]

@MetaP_Init @ThePopeLab @magnusarntzen Remember when I had to do fosmid library (which are random) then screen it and then sequence the potential few hits we got. Well, it could have been done faster ^^
