4. With a large cohort and systematic correction for confounders we find some intriguing microbiome associations with host phenotypes that can impact healthy aging (metabolic, inflammation etc)

It's Friday! ...and #MVIF 32 program is out! 🤩 ⭐️MicroTalks: Nayeon Kim (Lee & @BelenkyLab) Hirotsugu Shiroma (takujida) ⭐️ Keynote: Susan Bullman Susan Bullman ⭐️Selected talks: Lauren Lui Aarthi Ravikrishnan Jaeyun Sung, PhD microbiome-vif.org/en-US/-/future…

A new study conducted by scientists Niranjan Nagarajan Aarthi Ravikrishnan from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS), in collaboration with researchers from Singapore Immunology Network, A*STAR Institute for Human Development and Potential (A*STAR IHDP) and NUS has revealed that gut bacteria may play a key role in aging,

Tech Alert! 🚀🧬 We can now determine the sequence of DNA with non-canonical bases in a direct and high-throughput manner with Nanopore sequencing. Check out our preprint for details: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Did you know the secret to a vibrant old age might be living right inside you?🤔 A study from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) led by Niranjan Nagarajan, Aarthi Ravikrishnan, indrik wijaya, reveals how our gut microbes 🦠 play a crucial role in healthy aging! Learn how these tiny neighbours can keep our golden

We’re super stoked to share the results of our Asian Skin Microbiome Program! 🌟 After several years of hard work and dedication, optimizing experimental parameters, and systematically generating data, we've built a massive dataset! Do give it a read here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So proud to have co-led this massive Asian skin microbiome project with my amazing colleagues! 🙌

Our study developing a skin metatranscriptomics protocol is now out in Nature Biotechnology! We finally have the ability to study microbial activity on skin and identify key functional genes playing a role in diseases. Led by the amazing Minghao Chia nature.com/articles/s4158…

Skin #metatranscriptomics could be transformational in a way not seen in gut/oral studies as 1) Defined sampling can provide in vivo relevant insights 2) Microbial mRNA is dominant, but human mRNA is also detected nature.com/articles/s4158…
