Our paper on the effect of DNA isolation methods on human gut microbiome metagenomic profiles and phenotypic associations is out now in Scientific Reports. Check out the full paper: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Happy to see our study on mother-infant virome out in Nature Communications! Congratulations to Sana Garmaeva, Trishla Sinha, groningen_microbiome and #LLNEXT team. This paper was properly celebrated with specially designed cakes :)

Great annual INITIALISE meeting in Naples. Great progress, publications, and much more to come this year. Welcome also to new project partner GENOS Glyco Gordan Lauc #immunesystem #multiomics #gutmicrobiome #exposome #HorizonEurope

Celebration of the successes of microbiome research, VICI award for A.Zhernakova , successful set up of the Organ-on-a-chip research, start of the Groningen microbiome Hub!! So much to be proud of UMCG Genetica UMCG MDL groningen_microbiome Lifelines

Very happy for Asier Fernández and for all PhD students from exposome.nl consortium, which provides travel grants for research internships! Roel Vermeulen UMCG Genetica

We are hiring! Two new PhD positions in the @gromicrobiome team: 1. lab-based: for culturomics validation of the LLNEXT mother-baby findings: tinyurl.com/3pm2rfzf 2. bioinformatics: focused on mining gene clusters in adult and infant metagenomes: tinyurl.com/5f4dk2dd

Very proud of Marjolein Klaassen for her wonderful defense of her PhD on the role of the #microbiome in #IBD. A.Zhernakova Ranko Gacesa UMCG MDL Here's one of her projects on the microbiome in IBD twins published in #Gastroenterology gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-…

Great reading!

Another 5 days to apply for the PhD position in our team!

Out now! This paper is a follow-up of our long-standing collaboration led by Mauro D’Amato, aimed at understanding the genetics of #IBS and gut health in large population cohorts. Thanks to Lifelines UMCG Genetica groningen_microbiome Serena Sanna Dr Leticia Camargo Tavares and many others.

Many thanks to A. Murat Eren (Meren) for visiting us in Groningen with an inspiring seminar and for insightful discussions with many groningen_microbiome researchers! Kudos to Sana Garmaeva for planning and organizing this visit.

It was a great event - excellent speakers and amazing organization!

Very proud of Ailine Lopez Manosalva, who successfully defended her PhD thesis ‘Oral and Gut Microbiota in Cardiometabolic Diseases’. Congratulations, Ailine! groningen_microbiome Research UMCG

Great work of my colleagues from UMCG Genetica, good to see it out!

Congratulations, Sergio Andreu-Sánchez for beautiful work and excellent thesis defense cum laude! It was a great pleasure to have you in a groningen_microbiome team, and a joy to accompany you on this path together with Jingyuan Fu! UMCG Genetica Research UMCG

Excited to present the comparison of the virome results obtained by VLP enrichment and by metagenomic sequencing in >1000 samples from #LLNEXT cohort at the #VoM2024 meeting. Work done by Sana Garmaeva, the virome team of LLNEXT and groningen_microbiome

An important study, happy that it involves the Dutch Microbiome Project Lifelines Sergio Andreu-Sánchez Jingyuan Fu groningen_microbiome. Thank you Segata Lab for inviting us to this exciting project

What are the similarities between the early-life gut virome and the Sydney Opera House? Sana Sana Garmaeva is presenting the results of the Chiliadal Virome Project: the analysis of gut virome in 332 mother-infant pairs from #LLNEXT cohort. #VoM2024 groningen_microbiome

Out now! Timing of antibiotic incision during CS has little effect on babies microbiome; much smaller than the effect of the feeding mode. This RCT study was planned, designed and performed by Trishla Sinha, congratulations Trishla on completing it! groningen_microbiome UMCG Genetica

Out now! The preprint on the development of virome and plasmidome in early life, along with an in-depth thread by Asier Fernández, who led the study. Thanks to Sana Garmaeva, Trishla Sinha, Anastasia Gulyaeva, Nataliia Kuzub, Simon Roux, Jingyuan Fu, Alex Kurilshikov & groningen_microbiome
