I’m deeply grateful to be a recipient of the @takeda_sci Visionary Research Grant in 2025. Thank you to the Takeda Science Foundation for the trust and support. This opportunity has been truly motivating. Looking forward to what 2026 will bring.

Hiring is a bit like dating: good candidates are rare and the whole process is full of self-doubt, anxiety and ambiguity on both sides.

@FassLab @CellCellPress @NavaReznik @FranzLabDuke @Kelly_N_Chacon @ADGallo56 What an amazing work! Congratulations!!

Happy to share our recent work just out @CellCellPress - "Intestinal mucin is a chaperone of multivalent copper" Wonderful job by @NavaReznik and our great collaborators @FranzLabDuke @Kelly_N_Chacon @ADGallo56 and more! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I am happy to share that I will be joining Keio University as a junior Principal Investigator. If you are interested in the bleeding edge microbiome science, please consider applying. Fully funded postdoctoral, PhD and technician positions are available (Tokyo, Japan).

Japanese government has passed a bill to establish an unprecedented 10-trillion ¥ (~80bn $) for promotion of basic science. I am looking forward to witnessing and playing a small part in the transformation this investment will bring about.

Defining #healthymicrobiome will require integration of the rules of microbial ecology with immune system curatorship.

Finally, current models of microbial ecology successfully analyze select aspects of bacteria-to-bacteria interactions, but overlook curatorship by the immune system, ENS, IECS of microbiome composition, diversity and stability.

In our review on "Non-zero-sum microbiome immune interactions" in @EurJImmunol we attempt to integrate #microbiome, #immunology, #gametheory and #ecology into an evolutionary framework to highlight the path towards defining #healthymicrobiome. doi.org/10.1002/eji.20…

T & B cells curate microbiome composition supporting its diversity and stability and protect both the host and microbiome from infections

Received an email from a stranger on the other side of the globe saying that a paper of mine inspired them. I am stunned and humbled, but also amazed to see firsthand how global science works.

@biorxivpreprint @JothamSuez Amazing! If you are interested, there is a Japanese company called bitBiome that has developed a very similar technology (wp.bitbiome.co.jp/en/technology/).

@AdiBiram Congratulations!

@Katrinardottir Thank you!

@Tuganbaev_Timur Exciting! All the best 🤗

After 6 months of waiting for the borders to reopen, traveling 30 hours door to door including 15 hours in the air and 2 virus tests later I have finally moved to Tokyo!

@uria_mor Thanks man!

@Tuganbaev_Timur Good luck!!
