The microbiome is our game. Immunology is our name. Multidisciplinary, multicultural team science!
Latest lab review- The Gut microbiota-Immune-Brain axis: Therapeutic Implications. Just out in @CellRepMed Well done @kjdoriordan @gerrymoloney @LilyKeane & @UCCpsychiatry cell.com/cell-reports-m…
Congratulations @YingHanChen7121 and Kim Zaldana for showing how B cells are altered when lab mice are released outdoors! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/n
New findings in @MicrobiomeJ from our scientists show how ‘good’ gut bacteria help protect against #Salmonella, a major cause of food poisoning. Read more: buff.ly/pSlM3ZO @PedicordLab | @benberesjones | @Cambridge_Uni
So proud of @benberesjones and the whole Pedicord lab for this work in close collaboration with Simon Clare and @LawleyLab! Another outstanding team effort! rdcu.be/ebLnp

A lovely day to start up work again in the new year! Great to have everyone back in the lab 😊

Interested in spatial -omics? Check out our review now online! We provide a primer on high-dimensional spatial profiling, introduce key concepts in analysing spatial data, and propose a 3-step conceptual framework for investigating tissue immune niches. jacionline.org/article/S0091-…
Thrilled to share the results of our 8-year-long expedition into the Wild, the city of #NYC , the wild west of #LosAngelesCA , and more—in search of the roots of gut fungal commensalism! 🧵nature.com/articles/s4158…
🚨 New publication alert! 🚨 As part of the exciting #HCA publication bundle in @Nature, we reveal metaplasia’s role in inflammation in gut diseases, powered by a single-cell atlas of the entire human gastrointestinal tract. 🌟 nature.com/articles/s4158…
Our single-cell integration study maps the entire GI tract, revealing how epithelial cell metaplasia contributes to inflammation in IBD and colorectal cancer. 🧬🦠 Explore the #GutCellAtlas at 🌐 gutcellatlas.org! congrats to @AmandaOPhD and team! @sangerinstitute
Excellent work from @JosefowiczLab and the Rice Lab!

Beyond grateful to reconnect with these amazing people at #SITC2024


Thanks so much @fionapowrie @powrie_lab for the shout-out of our preprint in your excellent CSHL Microbiome meeting keynote! We're very excited to be exploring the mechanisms by which resident microbes induce protective host responses in the gut! #cshl #microbiome
What your brain's microbiome means for your health? The answer is: Absolutely nothing, as there is none. And no, brain microbiomes play also no role in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's. This article is not based on scientific information that is credible.

Imagine if you woke up this morning and found that the NIH-funded database that holds all of the data that you and thousands of other scientists around the world consult every day was turned off. Gone. Despite many efforts by a community of scientists to lobby @NIH @NIHDirector…
