The Deng Lab studies phages in nature and human health. We use ecological relevant models, culture-independent methods and high-throughput metagenomics
Happy Women in Science Day👩🔬🧫
Today we celebrate incredible women who drive scientific innovation and discovery in our lab and around the world #DiversityMatters
PS-When working with bacteria, we always look forward to coming to the lab...and finding our cultures positive 😃
We're looking for a motivated PhD student with a background in computational biology to join our team. You will be involved in exciting projects that aim to reveal the role of microbiome in human health.
In our two recent papers, we demonstrate the relevance of gut phages to human health and identify their roles in conditions such as Graft-versus-host (https://t.co/DDCeO1nhAC), as well as non-communicable diseases like colorectal cancer (https://t.co/ghESDbLaGE).
It has been 6 months since we published with @tandfonline in Gut Microbes. Our paper shows how phages interact with microbial communities and lead to colorectal cancer development. You can review the article here: https://t.co/iVbTcQoHd3 #AcademicChatter#bacteriophage#cancer
We are excited to announce our latest publications that demonstrate the link between gut phages and colorectal cancer, which is exacerbated by Helicobacter pylori infection:

Just home from @vom2023 in beautiful Georgia. Honestly one of the best experiences of my life - feeling inspired and excited about science, my work, and the future. #vom2023
We are looking for a highly motivated Ph.D. student to work on an exciting project that aims to develop targeted approaches for manipulating the human microbiome. To apply, please visit the link below: https://t.co/dQ7py7etDd
We are excited to share our recent paper published in Microbiology Spectrum. Using single-cell viral tagging, we revealed significant cell-to-cell variations in phage kinetics among highly virulent phages: https://t.co/AWgy3g1LAY
We are excited to share our recent paper published in Gut Microbes; ViroProfiler is a new pipeline for analyzing viral sequences, bringing us one step closer to standardizing viral metagenomics: https://t.co/NLOLaKsQMs
Last week 70 national and international participants discussed the future of translational #phage research in Germany during the first strategic DZIF meeting on this topic. A DZIF phage network was established and a roadmap for future steps drafted.

These past two days were unique. Thanks to @DZIF_, interdisciplinary teams aiming at making phage therapy a treatment option against untreatable bacterial infections, were brought together. Many lessons learned and a lot of work ahead #thefutureisbright#phagefriends
Don’t miss Europe’s biggest multidisciplinary and prestigious science conference: Leiden, July 13-16, 2022 @ESOF_eu. For an update on our research focus regarding #AMR join session
SS3.14 on Current Research Trends towards solving Antimicrobial Resistance
