Giving Day begins now, and we’re doing things a bit differently this year. Until May 22, support #COVID19 research and student relief with a donation – which will be matched – or pledge to volunteer. Together, we’ll get through this: ow.ly/FgPV50zm2OA #UCalgaryTogether

Working together is the best way to effect change. Our partnerships are critical to progress and we’re so grateful to have worked with the @YYCHealthTrust for decades. Read more about our most recent collaboration: ow.ly/FoPC30qAr47

On #NationalSuperHeroDay, we are celebrating Dr. Braedon McDonald, MD, PhD. Dr. McDonald is a microbiome researcher at #UCalgary who is also an attending physician directly on the frontlines delivering patient care in the ICU for those diagnosed with #COVID19. We thank you!

#GivingTuesdayNow is a global day of giving and unity – the perfect time to support the International Microbiome Centre #UCalgary. Our microbiome investigations are sparking translational discoveries that will benefit millions of Canadians. Donate now: bit.ly/2L0UaMD

Researchers from U Calgary have developed a new method to test for #COVID19 that can provide results in 30 minutes without the need for high-tech equipment and the reagents that have been in limited supply worldwide. ucalgary.ca/news/ucalgary-…

Working from home can be tricky, @nresearchnews is organizing a webinar to provide early career #researchers some tips to adjust and boost productivity from home. Check it out workcast.com/register?cpak=… #research #workingfromhome

New paper from our lab Nature Communications showing that #fungi are true gut residents and directly involved in host immune education. ➡️Read the work here go.nature.com/2ZsaFKd This was a huge effort from Erik van Tilburg Bernardes @PettersenVK and many more!

Many fundamental scientific questions about the relationships between microbiomes & their hosts remain unanswered. A recent study done in the germ free facility shows fungi have a larger role in the development of the gut microbiome than ever realized: bit.ly/2Y9k0FJ

You changed our world for the better! Your giving has led to medical breakthroughs, new technologies and countless innovations. Thank you! ow.ly/up2Q50Ajc24 #UCalgary

UCalgary researchers discover which gut bacteria help our immune system battle cancerous tumours and how they do it. Study shows combining immunotherapy with specific microbial therapy boosts immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Read more: bit.ly/3gWXuqx

Bacteria may hold the key to cancer immunotherapy. Listen to a new podcast on the topic with Dr. Kathy McCoy, PhD. Dr. Kathy McCoy Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases sciencefriday.com/segments/bacte…

Could we expect babies born during the pandemic to have a reduced risk of asthma later on? It will be also interesting to monitor changes in infant antibiotic use this year.

Listen to Dr. Kathy McCoy, PhD, share an important microbiome research discovery that could influence receptivity to cancer treatment on the Finding Genius Podcast podcast. Dr. Kathy McCoy International Microbiome Centre Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases player.fm/series/finding…

We talk to Dr. Paul Kubes, a UCalgaryMedicine infectious disease expert, about what goes into studying a deadly disease, how #COVID19 has changed scientific research, and our newly reopened Biosafety Level 3 lab. Listen to episode 8 of We Can Answer That: ow.ly/GXzW50BzkCT

The International Microbiome Centre received a gift to support innovative approaches to treating chronic disease. Coming from a science background, Lanny Fenwick was intrigued when he was connected to the world of research at UCalgaryMedicine. Read more: bit.ly/36XO6iy
