Pleased to announce that our latest paper is published in Cell!
We developed a novel ML model that predicts fecal microbial load from relative species profiles, revealing it as a key factor shaping gut microbiome variation and disease-microbe associations

Microbial solutions must be deployed against climate catastrophe
Repeat after me…
@gilbertjacka & colleagues publish same article in 14 different journals in a call to arms to “harness the power of microbiology…. to safeguard the planet for future generations”
Researchers from UZH have used artificial intelligence to detect antibiotic resistance in bacteria for the first time. This is an important first step toward integrating GPT-4 into clinical diagnostics. https://t.co/vjD8NeoCEE
Episode 32: Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
For millennia, society has wrestled with the best methods for raising children. Only one woman was brave enough to give the real answer: scream at them until they play the piano.

We are excited to share our work on colonizing oral opportunistic pathogens. Here we looked at the impact of low prevalence, high impact oral pathogens like Klebsiella. Authors: @JettLiu_@bajenak@GrossmanMicrbio@jonbakerlab@he_xuesong. Full article: https://t.co/ZgfDsUIaRa
Acrolein is envrnmntl toxicant & gut microbial metabolite. But hard to do in vitro tox! we developed acrolein biosynthesis system compatible with human cell culture.Awesome team effort including student projects & mentor- congrats!! @ChemResTox https://t.co/MsWoFl6lnd
Wow, @nature has retracted the 2020 Poore et al. cancer microbiome paper that we showed (https://t.co/hBvfGCvyGR) was deeply flawed. The retraction date is tomorrow so I can't yet read the official notice, but I'll update when I can @RetractionWatch@ProfBootyPhD
Excited to share that I'll start my lab @GeiselMed as an assistant professor in July 2025! We will build a hybrid lab that focuses on microbial metabolism & human gut microbiome. We're hiring at all levels. Especially seeking experimental microbiologists for the wet lab work!
Join our happy hour series to meet other PhD students, postdocs, and staff of @ETH_en D-HEST! Snacks and drinks will be provided by your friendly representatives at the D-HEST Association of Scientific Staff.
Happy Monday! Start your week w/ a new QIIME 2 release: @qiime2 2024.2. New parallel shotgun actions, an updated visualizer for summarizing feature tables (see `summarize-plus`), performance enhancements & minor fixes throughout & a lot more. Enjoy!

Check how one molecule can be a diagnostic and drug for precision oncology. Our paper with Kook Son, @vakil_takhaveev and @ProfessorShana elucidating the mechanism of the anticancer drug trabectedin is out in Nat Commun today. https://t.co/Z893Q6ZFWv
Our newest work from postbacc students, before getting into grad school, was posted on bioRxiv. We looked at how oral and nasal Klebsiella can persist longer in starvation community and how it is important for clinical infections. https://t.co/JkLAurfrJl
A new pre-print from our lab is out! Congratulations, Nize! Our data suggest that early life traumatic #stress can induce changes in the fecal microbial community that may be perpetuated from the exposed parent to their offspring. #Microbiota#Gut#Brain https://t.co/6Si06zvBN0
Congratulations to @NikolaiPullen for a successful doctoral defense and amazing day of celebration! Kudos for assembling an awesome committee of experts including @vakil_takhaveev and @APoetsch Cheers! 🥂
