Excited to share that Nick Quinn-Bohmann's recent paper is the July cover-article in Nature Microbiology!

Check it out our paper here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-024-01728-4

This work was co-supervised by @thaasophobia, & we had help from an amazing team of collaborators.

Happy to announce that my last preprint from the Gibbons Lab at ISB is now out at https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.02.02.578701v1 . In the end it took us almost 5 years to make this work well.

Dietary intake is major factor in many studies but is not easy to measure on a fine-grained level. Our idea was to use metagenomic shotgun sequencing of fecal samples to detect and quantify food-derived DNA.

🐈 ← 💼 Some personal news: Early 2024 I will be joining the faculty of the @medunigraz. It's definitely a bitter-sweet moment leaving the amazing @gibbological lab at ISB, but I am very excited for what comes next and can't wait to work with the great research community in Graz (and Europe). https://www.cdiener.com/posts/meduni-graz/

I'm excited to announce that the 2023 ISB Virtual Microbiome Series registration site is live!

We will host a 2-day bioinformatic course and a 1-day symposium Oct. 11-13.

This year's theme is 'how the ecology of our guts protects us from pathogens'

I will be talking about frailty and epigenetic clocks in 🐭 at this virtual NIA workshop on heterogeneity in aging - my favorite topic! Mon/Tues 5/8-9, registration is free! https://twitter.com/NIHAging/status/1651934508835381260

In our study published today in @ScienceMagazine, we provide a proof of concept for the potential use of ancient microbes as a source for developing new drugs by synthesising previously unknown metabolites from reconstructed gene clusters. http://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adf5300

Proud to announce that @joemyxter and I took the @isbsci cornhole championship trophy home again this year 🌽🏆 🫅

And @BioBohmann brought home the best poster award 🥇

Be it science or sport, we came home from Leavenworth laden with victory 💥
