LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! FIRST REPRODUCTION OF BLUE SOUP IN-VITRO

Finally out!! Our new manuscript on Bile Salt Hydrolase as the producer of microbially conjugated bile acids is out in nature Extremely proud that the first author is my first PhD student @DVGMicrobe. Congrats Doug! MSU MSU Biochemistry & Molecular Biology MSU College of Natural Science nature.com/articles/s4158…

Trilled to announce the first piece of my dissertation has been published today in Nature! We show that bile salt hydrolase is one of the culprits behind microbial bile acid conjugation. Thank you to all those involved! @MSU_MGI Robert Quinn nature.com/articles/s4158…

While you check out the recent paper from our lab, be sure to read related work authored by @bipinrimal and Steph Collins from Andrew Patterson's lab at Penn State!

This is surreal.

Needed to do 96 wp platereader anaerobic cultures but the machine is not built for that. Then I thought: no headspace = no oxygen right? So I filled the wells to the brim and stuck PCR seal over it and BOOM it worked! Data below 👇

#BileAcids, essential molecules produced in the liver, play a vital role in our gut health. MSU researchers Robert Quinn and Doug Guzior shed light on the microbial contribution of these important molecules. natsci.msu.edu/news/2024-02-b…

MGI's Doug Guzior and Robert Quinn showed that teamwork really does make the dream work. Their research on #BileAcids was recently published in nature .

It is an honour to share our Dr Trevor Lawley Wellcome Sanger Institute ONJ Cancer Research Institute work describing a high-resolution microbiome signature for combo immune checkpoint blockade (CICB) response, published today in Nature Medicine! nature.com/articles/s4159… A 🧵...

Wellcome Sanger Institute Dr Trevor Lawley Excited to start my research group at Microbiology UCC and APC Microbiome Ireland in Cork.

There is currently not a single bile acid detection protocol that can fully capture the true diversity of bile acids, and, as a result, the ability to comprehensively detect and describe the extensive bile acid metabolic network represents a 21st century analytical challenge!!!

A gift from the Class of 1873, the MSU Rock is a beloved campus monument that has spanned generations of students. Painting it is a Spartan tradition. When a small piece of its special paint layers fell off recently, we preserved it and took photos to share.

A fantastic piece published earlier this week that I wish I could have read years ago! Highly recommend to anyone, researcher or otherwise.

MGI D.O.-Ph.D. student, Jade Le Bris, will be speaking at Hooked at 2 PM on Saturday, April 27th, about her first novel, "All the Gold Between Us, " a fantasy inspired by Greek mythology. #spartanauthors Learn more here: mgi.natsci.msu.edu/news-and-event…

Congratulations to MGI's newest graduate, Dr. Doug Guzior! The topic of his dissertation was "Catalytic mechanisms and physiological consequences of microbial bile acid conjugation." #dissertation #phd #congratulations #GoGreen

Congratulations ⁦⁦Doug Guzior⁩ !!! Newly minted PhD. Welcome to the club!

Awesome talk by Gary Patti at the Thermo Scientific User meeting at #ASMS2024! Exciting data presented from the new Stellar MS platform!

NCBI is making improvements to our Taxonomy resource in response to new data and changes in biological nomenclature and classification. We will update the higher-level classification of birds, budding yeasts, prokaryotes, and viruses. Learn more: ow.ly/22fZ50S8C6P
