Some of the wise #CiiiD women who attended the Monash University School of Clinical Sciences and Hudson Institute of Medical Research WISDOM (Women in Science & Discovery Medicine) dinner mixer last night! A great opportunity to discuss the challenges facing #WomenInSTEM among peers.

Combining single cell genomics with #microbiome. Well done @KylieReneeJames. Wellcome Sanger Institute Hudson Institute of Medical Research

Australian PhD, Honours, RAs, anyone with molecular experience really. Add your name to the volunteer registry to do COVID testing (if necessary) in Australia. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Hudson Institute's Dr Emily Gulliver and Dr Sam Forster were part of a leading collaborative study with the Wellcome Sanger Institute which created the first detailed cell atlas of immune cells and gut bacteria within the colon. Forster Lab 🗺️ bit.ly/2VK5gMK

Beautiful paper! Australia is especially conservative about this, but we must support researchers and students doing hypothesis-free work. "Not all those who wander are lost." genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Congratulations James!!

Congratulations Marina!!!

Fantastic news in today’s #VICbudget - a new National Centre of Inflammation Research is to be established at Hudson Institute of Medical Research ! A massive boost for all our researchers at CiiiD who perform world-leading research on inflammation & related diseases 🎉 hudson.org.au/latest-news/wo…

Key Technologies for Progressing Discovery of Microbiome-Based Medicines from Remy Young frontiersin.org/article/10.338…

Our latest work on the #microbiome and #ibd looks at 286 patient biopsies with shotgun metagenomics, host transcriptomics and over 6000 cultured isolates to identify site-specific bacterial clades (rather than taxonomy) associated with disease. Hudson Institute of Medical Research CiiiD Hudson

Also looking forward to the results from BiomeBank application of these datasets, analyses and bacterial candidates to make new treatments for inflammatory bowel disease. #TranslationalResearch

Awesome study - identifying the bacteria associated with inflammation in #IBD Congrats all, especially Gemma D'Adamo and Sam Forster

Great to see this work published. An important step in understanding host-microbiome interactions in #IBD. Thanks to all, especially Gemma D'Adamo for the huge amount of effort required here

The team, including A/Prof Sam Forster & PhD student Gemma D'Adamo have discovered a key group of bacteria connected to #InflammatoryBowelDisease which are now being developed into new treatments 🦠 Check out the details of this groundbreaking study 👀bit.ly/43E9iW5
