In a collaboration with the Weersma lab out now in Nature Communications, we show that intestinal mucosa cis-eQTLs in IBD can depend on inflammatory status and be influenced by the cell type composition of the mucosa. Read about this work: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Multi-omic profiling in IBD patients initiating biologic therapy identifies remission-associated gut microbial features. Our findings provide a foundation for more individualized selection of optimal therapeutic agents. Online now Cell Host & Microbe: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Super excited to be able to share this study on gut microbiome ADP-ribosyltransferases and their role as phage-encoded fitness factors in the gut. Been a great collaboration with Hugo Arellano (HAS) and Novartis along with Broad Institute @MGH_RI & Emily Temple cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Ever wondered how oral microbes colonize the gut? Turns out gut inflammation opens up a niche Veillonella can exploit through nitrate utilization. Congrats to Daniel Rojas and the team for all the help Emily Temple Michelle Onyekaba Ahmed Mohamed Dr. Rebecca Walker nature.com/articles/s4156…

Our latest preprint, profiling gene regulation in >670 developing human brains! Driven by exceptional PhD student Cindy Wen "Cross-ancestry, cell-type-informed atlas of gene, isoform, and splicing regulation in the developing human brain." medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Human lectins a part of our innate immune system, they influence the #microbes that live in us. What species do they bind? Kiessling Group Xavier Lab Eric Alm developed Lectin-Seq as a method to mine the human #microbiome. Excited to share the strategy:science.org/doi/full/10.11…

Excited to share our latest study uncovering gut microbes and microbial metabolites linked to cardiovascular health! We show that Oscillibacter is associated w/decreased cholesterol in human subjects & that these bacteria take up &metabolize cholesterol. bit.ly/4cGpnjW

1/ Keen to share the story of my postdoc research in Xavier Lab! We built a massive resource characterizing the spatial landscape of the gut, and yes, we dug deep into the biology too. If you’ve got a minute, let me walk you through the story. 🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…
