"We found that combination therapy significantly limits the #evolution of de novo resistance in E. coli, yet different #drugcombinations vary substantially in their propensity to select for #AntibioticResistance" by Leonie Jahn and Morten Sommer academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar…

Using synthetic microbial communities mimicking the Brazilian sugarcane ethanol fermentation we reveal L. amylovorus as an industrial probiotic that may improve process yield. Our collaboration with Alvaro Sanchez Lab is published in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…. DTU

The emergence of the #SARSCoV2 variants B.1.1.7 (VOC-202012/01), 501Y.V2 (B.1.351) and P.1 (B.1.1.28.1) has aroused many concerns, including worsening #COVID19 and escape from vaccine-induced immunity.

Yesterday we announced positive data from the first part of our phase 1 trial of SYNB8802. We are developing SYNB8802 as a potential treatment for patients who have high oxalate absorption from the GI tract which causes progressive kidney damage. How did we get here? 🧵 1/9

Data from this study support testing of UNI91104, a promising candidate for viral respiratory infections such as COVID19, in patient trials. Transient irritation in the upper respiratory tract was the most frequent adverse event. Nasal application did not result in any AE.

Excited to share Phase 1 results from @UNION_Tx inhaled & intranasal niclosamide formulation. The good HV tolerability and broad antiviral effect opens exciting perspectives for the treatment of respiratory infections - including #COVID19 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… DTU

An update on Delta, vaccination protection and viral loads from the aggregate data available, with new @PHE_uk data 1. Delta infections are characterized by very high viral loads (low Cts). When a breakthrough occurs, the load is similar to unvaccinated, but clears more rapidly

I’m really honored to be one of the recipients of this year’s Vilcek Prizes for Creative Promise. America is truly a land of opportunities. My parents immigrated to the US w/ nothing but dreams & hopes when I was young. I’m glad to be able to build a life and career here in 🇺🇸
