Systematically dissecting the lifestyle of human gut microbes
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…
We are recruiting🤗! please share (and apply)
Our lab is recruiting postdocs with strong expertise in molecular microbiology and/or phage biology to work on different antibiotics-related projects (more info epfl.ch/labs/upgoemans/). Please get in touch if interested (with CV and references)!
Our short piece highlighting the impressive work by @microbetracker on how the Parkinson’s disease drug entacapone disrupts gut microbiome via iron sequestration. @lab_maier nature.com/articles/s4156…
Congratulations to Pereira et al. on their outstanding work! It was an absolute pleasure to write a short News & Views article about their exciting findings. doi.org/10.1038/s41564…
OUT NOW 💊Entacapone, a Parkinson's disease medication, sequesters iron resulting in a selective inhibition of gut microbial metabolism @MichiWagner4 @microbetracker @DOME_Vienna @JMF_Vienna @kirk3gaard @sotonbiosci nature.com/articles/s4156…
"Microbiologist Lisa Maier says we must go beyond conventional approaches to find novel solutions" Read our interview with Dr. Maier, one of our #50ScientistsThatInspire: cell.com/news-do/50-ins…
Microbiologist Dr. Lisa Maier was selected as one of our #50ScientistsThatInspire for her work in enhancing the understanding of host-microbiome-drug interactions. #CP50 Read the full interview: cell.com/news-do/50-ins…
🌍 World Antimicrobial Awareness Week! 🦠 Antimicrobial resistance is a threat to global health. Misuse of antibiotics fuels resistance and makes infections harder to treat. Be part of the solution: Follow medical advice and help spread awareness! #WAAW #AMR #GoBlue #OneHealth
Over the moon to be named among the #50ScientistsThatInspire across diverse fields by @CellCellPress! A heartfelt thank you to my former and current lab members, mentors, collaborators, and friends—you are my daily inspiration! cell.com/news-do/50-ins…
I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be setting sail into new waters! I've recently been appointed Chair of Intestinal Microbiome at @TU_Muenchen and will be soon transitioning to #TUMSchoolofLifeSciences in Freising. #PhD and #Postdoc positions available- please share!
Gut bacteria are stronger when in community 🤝 EMBL Heidelberg researchers found that sensitive bacteria can be protected from drugs when part of communities. These emergent behaviours will help to design more efficient therapies, with less side effects. embl.org/news/science-t…
Excited to have made a small contribution to this important body of work!
>95% have forever chemicals #PFAS in blood. PFAS are linked to cancer, infertility, dev & immune issues. We now have a tool to sharpen to get rid of this poison of the century from body! Our preprint on PFAS bioaccumulation by human gut bacteria! 🧵(1/8) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We are excited to share our work assessing the impact of 1000+ industrial and agricultural pollutants on 22 gut microbiome species 🧪🧫🧬. A thread 🧵 @AnnaELindell @KamradStephan @kiran_r_patil @MRC_TU doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… (1/9)
Understanding and tackling impact of widespread chemical pollutants is one of the greatest challenges of our times. Our small step towards this. 🙏@AnnaELindell @KamradStephan @lab_maier @NKleinstreuer Thread below by @IndraRoux biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🎥CMFI board member @lab_maier recently featured in documentary on bacteria. She and her lab members provide insights into the current state of microbiome research and explain the work with bacteria in the laboratory. ardmediathek.de/video/gut-zu-w… @uni_tue @uni_tue_exstra @BR_Presse
Today @HausmannAnnika is visiting us. We just heard an intriguing talk on the regulation of innate #immune sensing of commensal #bacteria in the #intestinal mucosa. Nice to discuss her work on how epithelial repair programs might affect microbe-mucosa crosstalk. Thank you!
Here it is: Our mini-review on how gut microbes react to human-targeted drugs. We hope you enjoy reading it!
Response, resistance, and recovery of #gut #bacteria to human-targeted drug exposure. @lab_maier reviews how gut commensals respond to drug exposure, both as single organisms or as a community, with a particular focus on human-targeted drugs. cell.com/cell-host-micr…
Join our research group! 🦠🔬🧬The Nutrition, Microbiome and Immunity group (@MDesai_Lab) at @LIH_Luxembourg is hiring for 2 postdoc positions in #MucosalImmunology 😈 (lnkd.in/e_6AwWnr) and #Bioinformatics 🖥️(lnkd.in/e9mAXT5h)💩
