Hello British Columbia! Are you a renal transplant patient who would be interested in a study evaluating alternative methods for antibiotic resistance organisms treatment? Check out our clinical trail @REACHBC_ reachbc.ca/search#/projec…

New review out in Clinical Microbiology Reviews @ASMicrobiology. We explored recent advancements and challenges to the translation of mNGS for viral diagnostics. Check it out below! @MangesLab @bugseq @CDCofBC journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/cm…

Check out our latest preprint in collaboration with @VCHhealthcare @bugseq! We assess whether compositional changes in a nasal microbiota as associated with SARS-CoV-2 disease status and COVID-19 severity @MangesLab

How do we change the paradigm of care for viral infections when testing is limited? #DRIVe is collaborating w/ multiple partners to advance next-generation sequencing diagnostic technologies to detect known & novel respiratory RNA viruses. Read more: medicalcountermeasures.gov/newsroom/2022/…

Full article out now! Check out our latest work published in @PLOSONE through collaboration with @bugseq @UniofOxford @VCHhealthcare @CDCofBC @MangesLab @UBC journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Check out our latest preprint! Happy to be a part of this amazing collaborative effort

New preprint from @ruairirobertson @MangesLab & @ZvitamboZim investigating the relationship between gut microbiome composition & oral rotavirus vaccine immunogenicity. #microbiome medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Birth weight is the strongest predictor of stunting & other infant health outcomes. Our paper in @EBioMedicine shows that the maternal gut microbiome predicts gestational age, birth weight & neonatal growth @MangesLab @ZvitamboZim @QMUL @QMULBartsTheLon thelancet.com/journals/ebiom…

New review paper on the potential role for breastfeeding in protection against antimicrobial resistance published today in @BMCMedicine by @mayanads @ruairirobertson @MangesLab @ZvitamboZim @SeqH2O and co bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Could a "good community" of bacteria be the answer to the rapidly evolving antibiotic resistance problem? Sign up for the trial if you are eligible and help us explore the mechanisms behind the displacement of the resistant organisms!

Metagenomic sequencing today on our @nanopore MinION...very exciting! #longreads #nanopore @MangesLab

Our new review in @BMCMedicine - Can breastfeeding protect against antimicrobial resistance? @blizard_inst @qmul @QMULBartsTheLon @MangesLab @mayanads

I still remember @nanopore being useful even at 85% accuracy. Mind blowing that you can now read a single molecule at 450 bases pr second at 98% accuracy #nanoporeconf

Our first operations centre meeting on COVID vaccine roll out was yesterday. We are SO ready to work toward an end game for this pandemic. Big logistical challenge but bring .... it ... ON! @ubcspph @CDCofBC @UBCmedicine

There were 547 new #COVID19 cases were reported in BC this week. The most likely source of infection continues to be contact with a local case or cluster. While new hospital admissions remain low, there was a small increase: #COVIDBC surveillance report ow.ly/u3Hw50BbPBg

Advances in microbiome research help us understanding its role in human wellbeing. @colinhillucc highlights, however, that we must ensure that studying the microbiome remains a science and not a belief system via @NutritionSoc & @NS_Publications ow.ly/jG3130r6GNB

A few photos from our recent (socially distanced) summer lab social! Also a big thank you and farewell to our outgoing Lab Technician @iman_baharmand ! Best of luck in medical school!

A warm welcome to our new Research Tech (and future MSc student) Nick Gauthier! Joining us from @SFU_Science and the Quarmby Lab

A giant leap forward in our understanding of the role of the human gut microbiome in drug metabolism, congrats to the @donia_lab cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
