New paper led by @chenyan485! We developed an organoid-based air-liquid interface (ALI) model that produces physiologically relevant intestinal mucus and discovered that EspC has a mucinolytic superpower which enables C. rodentium to degrade mucus. https://t.co/wNMUCksWE4

*Recruiting* We are seeking patients with Crohn's disease with a BMI > 25 living in the Okanagan area or Calgary to participate in a diet study involving intermittent fasting. Contact me at [email protected] for more details!
@LCaetanoAntunes@rosanabferreira@KUMolBio@KUMolBio is so lucky to have you two! I wish you all the best in starting over again. Hopefully we can finally meet in person soon now that we are a bit closer :)
Looking to learn more about gut pathogen metabolism and how it could advantage them during infection! Look at this review from @qchuliang PhD student in @BruceVallance lab 👇🏼👇🏼 What’s for dinner? How Citrobacter rodentium’s metabolism helps it thr... https://t.co/0FFZfZGiUX

Interested in doing experiments under an anaerobic environment? Gut4Health is equipped with a Whitley A35 workstation that allows culturing of cells and microorganisms under strictly anaerobic conditions. More info: https://t.co/pzhaIL9eLA
@Leili_Rohani@BCCHresearch @UBCmedicine @BCChildrensHosp A lot of microorganisms require strict anaerobic conditions to grow and thrive, so it’s a more reliable environment to simulate several physiological conditions - e.g. gut microbiome studies.
Dr. Alana Schick is the bioinformatician at Gut4Health who is interpreting microbiome sequence data. If you're interested in microbiome studies be sure to check out her PITCH talk on January 27th at 9 AM.
Have you heard of our new Core facility at BCCHR - Gut4Health? Gut4Health provides microbiome services to the research community with both the facilities and expertise to help investigate how microbes interact with a person's biology. https://t.co/C9ujXnHv3o (1/2)
