Ain't no party like a microbiology party 'cuz a microbiology party don't stop without antibiotics. #ISME19

The Lee Lab is very proud of Anna Kazarina for presenting her work at #ISME19 in South Africa! In this project, Anna takes one step closer to building a plant-oriented Synthetic Community. Be on the lookout for a preprint of this work next week!👀

MSE seminar this Friday: “The PATHOME Study: Leveraging contrasts in urban socio-economic living conditions and pathogen diversity in humans, animals, and the environment to prioritize intervention policy in Kenya”, By Dr. Kelly Baker sueishaqlab.org/2024/08/26/mse…

Just want to take the opportunity to thank the The Lancet for profiling my work. Hope to see more Indigenous scholars and their work showcased in the future. Schulich WesternU Western University Western Research Western Epi&Biostats thelancet.com/journals/lance…

I was interviewed by Leigh Frame and Janette Rodrigues for the GW Integrative Medicine podcast! They host the podcast to explore research on health. We talked about my work on broccoli sprouts and microbes, MicrobesSocialEquity , and Microbiome Stewardship. soundcloud.com/user-516347348…

Check out our new perspective in The ISME Journal, Diversity alone does not reliably indicate the healthiness of an animal microbiome. Claire Williams Toby Hammer [1/7] doi.org/10.1093/ismejo…

🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨 We explore the powerful role of host-associated microbes in mitigating the negative impacts of aquatic pollution. Read more: journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11… #Microbiome #AquaticPollution #EnvironmentalScience #Bioremediation #EcosystemResilience

The new semester of AVS 254: Intro to Animal Microbiomes starts today! This year I'll be joined by +/- 94 students, making it our most popular year. Today we'll be talking about what makes a host associated microbiome.

We are recruiting a postdoc to develop new computational tools for metagenomic analysis and/or to build models of microbial systems! Lots of ongoing cool projects and significant flexibility to shape your own research agenda. microbialgamut.com/mGAMUT_postdoc…

Today in Intro to Animal Microbiomes, we'll be talking about “Through the looking glass": Microbial visualization techniques, stains, fluoroscopy, SEM/TEM, RAMAN.

Today in AVS 454/554, Amplicon Seq Analysis, we are learning : How to assess amplicon data quality and trim in R , and decide whether to use contigs or single reads. We will choose parameters to use for filtering and trimming, make the aggregate quality plots, and more.
