Just joined "the other side". Surprised by how much of a community already exists. Feels like I am late to the party. For those who want to follow me there alexmsalmeida.bsky.social. Lots of exciting announcements to share in the coming months.
The GIBA network will be launching on September 22nd with an in-person event in Southampton. Do come along to hear and share your thoughts on our plans to drive innovation in the gut-immune-brain axis field in the UK. Sign-up here: eventbrite.com/e/uk-giba-netw…
Are you interested in the gut-immune-brain axis (GIBA)? 🧠🔬 Researchers and stakeholders from all disciplines and backgrounds are invited to join the launch event for our UK GIBA Network+. 📅 Monday 22nd September 📍 Southampton Harbour Hotel Book here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/uk-giba-netw…
Excited to share some key findings from our latest research in @NatureMicrobiol reporting intra-cellular accumulation of #PFAS (aka forever chemicals) by certain human gut bacteria. nature.com/articles/s4156…
Proud to see our @CamVetSchool researchers collaborating on this major initiative to explore how gut health shapes brain function and overall wellbeing. 🧠👇🏽
Excited to be part of the leadership team of this new @BBSRC Gut-Immunology-Brain Axis (GIBA) Network+ to drive further mechanistic understanding of the GIBA. See more: bio.cam.ac.uk/news/cambridge…. @Cambridge_Uni @CamVetSchool @Cambridge_SBS
A new UK research network supported by UKRI will investigate how gut health impacts the brain, immune system, and mental wellbeing. Dr Alexandre Almeida (@alexmsalmeida) is part of the interdisciplinary team leading this new initiative. Read more: bio.cam.ac.uk/news/cambridge…

I have been teaching classes on the gut #microbiome for almost 20 years and always struggled to have a good book to recommend. Finally there is one. Fergus Shanahan's "Fast Facts: The Gut Microbiome" provides expert insight, is brilliant, and it is free. doi.org/10.1159/isbn.9…
Any microbiologist out here who has been using Chatbots for their bioinformatics/computational needs? I want to know more about their experience. Please RT for visibility! 🙂
If you have experience in sc/spatial transcriptomics with an interest in microbes....come and join our team as a computational postdoc: sanger.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/WellcomeSang... Incredibly exciting datasets on host-microbe interactions in the lung. Pls RT and reach out if you are interested
An in-depth analysis of 12,000 metagenomes looks at Enterobacteriaceae interactions in healthy humans These findings from @alexmsalmeida et al. highlight the critical role of the intestinal milieu in the colonization success of opportunistic pathogens: loom.ly/r0R1QVw
New #MicrobiomeDigest is OUT microbiomedigest.com/2025/01/16/jan… • Enterobacteriaceae in the human gut /@alexmsalmeida • microGalaxy /@bebatut • bacterial vaginosis /@mikeusyk • invitation for the next week @MicrobiomeVIF and more. Happy 2025!
Honoured to have made a (tiny) contribution to our *first* work as collaborators. Here’s to many more 🥂🚀
Very proud of @yinqibio who led this work in collaboration with Ana C. da Silva, @metagenomez, @ana_salmeida and @kiran_r_patil. I highlight below some of the key results.
