Looking forward to the #IBD #YouthGutTogether here at @uOttawaMed with @CHEOibd! Our IBD researchers are excited to meet with the CHEO IBD centre VIPs and their families to highlight our latest discoveries! For more information, see cheo.on.ca/en/events-gi .

I'd like to share this remembrance of Pierre Cornelius from his students & colleagues. He made important contributions to understanding iron acquisition/ metabolism by P. aeruginosa & served as Belgian Ambassador to ASM. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb… @ASMicrobiology @JBacteriology

The pattern of gut #microbiome and metabolites changes as colon #cancer progresses, as defined by metagenomics and metabolomics in a large cohort. nature.com/articles/s4159… @NatureMedicine No shortage of implications for pathobiology and diagnosis

Our safari tour guides: @DanielFigeys, @ericbenchimol, @mamabeargrrr, @austnyan, @jenlibeans, @GillianTanabe, and many more! See you on May 25th!

I wish to applaud the organizers of #BioMetals2018 for their obvious commitment to gender diversity in the selection of speakers. This was the most balanced program I’ve ever attended. @AlainStintzi

Congrats to Dr. Marvin J. Miller from @NDscience for the Biometals Award, in recognition for outstanding research in the biometals field. #BioMetals2018

Congratulation to Dr. Larry L. Barton of @UNM on receipt of the Heritage Award: In recognition for special contributions to the development of the biometals field. #BioMetals2018

5/5 #drinks and #dinner at the #BioMetals2018 #gala

4/5 #dinner at the #BioMetals2018 #gala

Hope you enjoyed the lovely views and food last night at #BioMetals2018 gala hosted at The Boathouse (@OttawaRowing Club). 1/5 #walk

#BioMetals2018's final talk is by Dr. Kamila Stokowa-Soltys from @uniwroc. How does metal ion coordination affect the activity of membrane proteins in Fusobacterium nucleotum?

@DavidBarondeau @deheinrichs @SchulichMedDent Just announced at #BioMetals2018.... *drumroll* 🥁🥁🥁 #BioMetals2020 will be in the Alps in Grenoble, France 🏔️🇫🇷 with the support of the Institute of Metals in Biology of Grenoble. It'll be hosted in July. "Beautiful nature and beautiful science"

@AlainStintzi @deheinrichs @SchulichMedDent Looks like a great conference. When and where will the next BioMetals be held?

Our chair for this afternoon session on #Siderophores is @deheinrichs from @SchulichMedDent. Lots of interesting synthetic biology to look forward to for the next two hours at #BioMetals2018

More on #macrophages at #BioMetals2018! @deheinrichs of @SchulichMedDent presents: "Staphylococcus aureus: adaption to life in the phagolysosome." A look at how S aureus replicates inside phagosomes and acquire nutrients. #copper & #zinc repletion, #iron & #magnesium depletion.

We begin our final session with a talk by @ReadingBioSci's Dr. Simon Andrews, with a discussion on how the bacterial pathogen Brucella uses #iron export to enhance survival against superoxides during phagocytosis. #BioMetals2018

Chairing our final #BioMetals2018 session is Dr. Pierre Cornelis (Laboratoire de microbiologie signaux et microenvironnement - lmsm-lab.fr). The topic: metals at the host-microbe interface.
