It is with great honor that I will be talking at this year's Dies Natalis as one of the 3 Young Scientists. It is a very special celebration of Microbiomes spanning the whole globe, but also a change of Rectorship. @clarabelzer group Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR Wageningen U&R wur.nl/en/article/zoo…

My best article Science Magazine. It took ~1 year for me to publish it since its 1st submission. I hope it will positively change the #culture. I hope you will work together with me to make a better world for the next #generations. Please retweet broadly. science.org/content/articl…

It was an amazing day and I am very excited I gave you a glimpse of my research. A special day because it was Women's Day and we also celebrated our first female Rector.

Good news: we are offering two PhD positions in the frame of the recently funded #MSCA Doctoral Network #ARCTECH, led by fabulous Tessa Quax ! Come and work with (human) #archaea in beautiful #Graz, Austria!

Elementary methods provide more replicable results in microbial differential abundance analysis - a preprint. Feedback welcome :-) arxiv.org/abs/2404.02691

Thank you Hauke Smidt and Akos T. Kovacs for chairing this very interesting session and for inviting me to share my research at #KNVM2024!

The past month I enjoyed lots of scientific outreach. I had the honor of presenting my research at the Dies Natalis of WUR (you can (re)watch youtu.be/gkCXa73qXCA?si…) and at the #KNVM2024. Stay tuned for updates on synthetic communities from the @clarabelzer group!

How to choose a probiotic? The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics has created an 'easy-to-follow' video with the common things to consider before buying a #probiotic. lnkd.in/gsZPg9bc

We are launching a platform to connect researchers who are open to collaborate with others... (1/3)

This is an amazing opportunity to be part of a fantastic team and network, embedded in a research group with great computational infrastructure and very friendly colleagues 😊. And in a beautiful city!

Happy to share a preprint with the results of my PhD work on creating a comprehensive genomic encyclopedia of carbohydrate metabolism in human-colonizing bifidobacteria. TL;DR: there's a lot of variability. A long thread with results (1/) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

20 years after its isolation Akkermansia muciniphila fascinates science. Due to its proximity to the mucosal barrier and its beneficial effect on metabolic and gut health it has a lot of potential as a therapeutic. Read our review @clarabelzer Maryse Berkhout at Nature Reviews Microbiology

Emergency bulletin! 14 journals have co-published an urgent call for the deployment of microbial solutions against climate catastrophe, by Raquel Peixoto et al. nature.com/articles/s4156…

🦠Our latest paper is out! We developed a synthetic community of human gut #microbes that completely degrades mucin glycans. We studied its microbial #mucin glycan-degrading enzymes and ecological interactions in bioreactors. #glycotime #microbiome academic.oup.com/glycob/article…

😊Super glad to be part of this research on the creation of a mucin-utilizing synthetic community! Check out the paper on this cutting-edge effort led by Maryse Berkhout @clarabelzer

The gut microbiota of an Indian rural population shows seasonal fluctuation. This study by Kumaraswamy Jeyaram, egzoetendal et al. tracked the seasonal differences in microbiota of healthy individuals that differ in fermented milk and soybean intake. nature.com/articles/s4146…
