New work by the StrowigLab showing that #microbiome-context affects toxin-dependent and -independent #Klebsiella mediated colonisation resistance against #Salmonella #infection nature.com/articles/s4156…



Excellent panel of selected abstracts at the #BCNMicrobiome particularly Youssef El Mouali sharing exciting data on gateway to genetic control of human gut commensals



I was born when there was no Hizbullah, Hamas or even PLO. Yet, I grew up in Lebanon suffering regular Israeli murders, invasions, bombings, kidnappings, all over the country. You can only believe that this is really about Hamas or Hizbullah if you know nothing about our history.


#weekendreading🔬📖 The RNA landscape of the human commensal Segatella copri reveals a small RNA essential for gut colonization Cell Host & Microbe cell.com/cell-host-micr…


Very proud of the amazing Youssef El Mouali for this fantastic work! Finally we get some deeper mechanistic insight on the lifestyle of the mysterious Segatella/Prevotella copri in the gut.

RNA world of Prevotella, now Segatella, gut bacteria unfolding! Includes an sRNA essential for colonization. Great work from the StrowigLab. I am proud to say that three of my former students and postdocs (El Mouali, Tawk, Ponath) contributed to it. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out the spectacular work led by Youssef El Mouali - giving insights into #sRNA regulation in the unexplored #Segatella/#Prevotella impacting metabolism and interactions with the host & commensals in the gut🦠

Small RNA w/big roles in colonization Youssef El Mouali StrowigLab characterize RNA landscape of Segatella copri. ID small RNA regulator essential for colonization & whose expression is regulated by metabolism of dietary components by S. copri cell.com/cell-host-micr…


Segatella copri ist ein weitverbreitetes #Darmbakterium, aber noch relativ wenig erforscht. Eine Studie von StrowigLab, Youssef El Mouali in Kooperation mit Jörg Vogel identifiziert jetzt eine small #RNA, die eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Besiedelung spielt. helmholtz-hzi.de/media-center/n…

New paper! Combining epidemiology and experiments uncovers surprising drug-host-microbiome-pathogen interactions. Congrats Aman Kumar Robyn Tamblyn and the rest of the team. nature.com/articles/s4158…


Thrilled to share that my postdoc paper is finally out today in nature. Very thankful to my mentor Andy Andy Goodman and all the collaborators including Robyn Tamblyn.
