Honored to attend the 75th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting #LINO75! Huge thanks to the @EU_Commission for the nomination and for hosting a wonderful dinner with my brilliant fellow #MSCA researchers, it was fantastic connecting with you all!
#proudteam here!
@nsegata received the Antonio Feltrinelli Prize for Biological Sciences. He was awarded the prize "for his scientific achievements in the field of microbial genomics and for being considered a pioneer of strain-level metagenomics."

🌍 New additions:
• Novel food types: Korean rice vinegar, yucha, and more
• Expanded profiling of fruits, vegetables, and meats
• Enhanced geographic representation

This expansion wouldn't be possible without the tremendous collaboration of our #DOMINOEU and #MASTER_EU partners. We extend our gratitude to @SciFoodHealth, @EUFIC, and @MASTER_IA_H2020 for their continued support.
We'd love to hear from you!

📌 The most transmissible gut species are associated with poorer cardiometabolic health and enriched for T2 diabetes biomarkers, possibly because the traits that allow them to thrive in inflammatory disease are the same ones that help them survive the journey between humans
4/n
📌 In 75% of cases where the same species was detected in both oral and gut environments of the same individual, it was the same strain, pointing to saliva-mediated oral-to-gut transmission as a dominant mechanism

Excited to share my summer plans! 🌞
This summer, 3 incredible microbiome study curation teams we'll be selecting, curating, reviewing, analyzing, & expanding two key microbiome databases: cMD and BugSigDB.
A huge thank you to @cibiocm & @Bioconductor for making this possible.
