@whelanfj @jcszamosi @PaulMoayyedi We found a unique set of donor genes that consistently engrafted in FMT responders. These genes are depleted in IBD and may hold clues to therapeutic response. Gene-level resolution matters

A shoutout to my wonderful collaborators on this and to the IMAGINE network for funding @whelanfj @jcszamosi @PaulMoayyedi

A lot of what looks like microbial engraftment after FMT might actually be noise. Using placebo sequencing and culture-enriched metagenomics, we sort signal from noise. Our latest from the Surette lab: nature.com/articles/s4146… @surette_m @Farncombe_GI @IMAGINE_SPOR @machealthsci

I am beyond thrilled to announce that I have been awarded a 2023 Lister Institute Research Prize Fellowship! 🎉 I am incredibly honoured to join such a prestigious group of colleagues, and am excited to use this Prize to grow my team! @ListerInstitute @UniofNottingham

Congratulations to our Dr. Dr. Syed for successful PhD defense! Well done buddy :) @surette_m

@Steeltown_Worms @agmcarthur Thanks Lesley!!

@caitsimop Haha! Thanks Caitlin!

@agmcarthur Thanks Andrew!

@jcszamosi 😆

Something to think about for Monday, @SharokShekarriz

@TimothyAKlein @JohnWhitneyIIDR @proftracypalmer @surette_m @BrianKCoombes Congratulations buddy!

What a wild ride! Thanks so much to @JohnWhitneyIIDR @proftracypalmer @surette_m and @BrianKCoombes for the excellent lines of questioning. I finally feel like a “big boy scientist”!

Manuscript sent out for review! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@Sloboda_Lab @KateKennedy @fetalprogram @surette_m @MsMacrophage @VerduLab Congratulations Kate!

Big day @Sloboda_Lab today- Dr @KateKennedy completed her journey through a PhD 🙌🏻👏🏻🥳 her performance was brilliant! We r all so proud of her achievement 😊thx to @fetalprogram @surette_m @MsMacrophage @VerduLab for being there w us & their probing questions 😉 🥇🎓🏆

@Wael_Elhenawy84 @UAlberta_MMI Great news! Congrats Wael!

I am happy to announce that as of today the Elhenawy lab will take off at @UAlberta_MMI. Thus, the lab, Justin Bieber, and less importantly the PI, accidentally shared their birthdays! The lab will focus on investigating the role of pathobionts in driving Crohn's disease.

Our paper on the robustness of microbiome analysis to methodological variation is finally out! Thanks and congratulations to the whole team. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… @SharokShekarriz @surette_m

Not to mention a constant uphill battle to advance your career. You think writing papers or giving talks is hard? Try doing it in a different language. Oh, and you're ineligible for most fellowships and funding opportunities

Could the microbiome in your airway determine how sick you get from COVID-19? That's one question that Mac researchers @MsMacrophage and @surette_m are investigating, thanks to new funding from the @WestonFdn. | @MacHealthSci bit.ly/2yjuesO

Folks this is serious. Crohn’s and Colitis Canada @getgutsycanada raise almost all their funding for #IBD research by donations at community events...which are cancelled. We need to amplify their message and get online to donate. Spread the word. Please RT!

@hibashareefdeen Congratulations!

I did a thing! 😊
