🚨 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁! I'm excited to share our new manuscript exploring the gut virome during pregnancy and early life in the Lifelines NEXT cohort. @GroMicrobiome @researchumcg 🔗 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁: doi.org/10.64898/2026.…

Excited to share my first @biorxivpreprint since joining the @SashaZhernakova lab! We investigate prophage dynamics and stability in Bifidobacterium longum subspecies (including the novel BL. nexti) across the first year of life in LLNEXT infants. 🦠🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

🚨 New Paper Alert 🚨 Happy to share our latest paper at @NatureComms on environmental contamination in gut virome studies. Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4146… Please see the 🧵(1/10) below to learn about a new “-ome”: negativeome 🦠!

Come to work with us! We have 2 PhD positions: 1: On stability of gut microbiome in longitudinal well phenotyped adult cohorts: tinyurl.com/MicrobiomeExpo… 2: On integrative multi-omics analysis in a unique longitudinal mother-infant cohort. tinyurl.com/EarlyLifeOmics @GroMicrobiome

Congratulations to our newest PhD Yue Zhang!

Thrilled to share that our manuscript on strain-level gut microbiome variation across diverse populations and human phenotypes is out today in @CellCellPress! sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Curious about how strain diversity relates to human traits? Follow this thread! 🌍 (1/n)

Congrats @YueZumcg our newest PhD. It was a pleasure to be your promoter, together with @SashaZhernakova and Prof. Andre Van den Ven. I wish you a great success in the future.

What a bright Cum Laude defense of @sinha_trishla today on her work on mother-infant microbiome! The ceremony followed the scientific symposium, and the first LLNEXT information evening for general public. Thanks to @MoranYassour and @mcarmen_collado for joining us in Groningen!

Out Now! Our enzymic reactions based metabolite prediction tool, MicrobeRX, published in Microbiome today! A milestone study from BugDrug project, funded by ⁦@ERC_Research⁩. Congrats ⁦@ruiz_moreno_aj⁩ ⁦⁦@UMCGgenetica⁩ youtu.be/RHgsHmAIBkA

Please watch our video abstract for MicrobeRX, which is published in Microbiome recently.

Another thesis defense in LLNEXT is coming soon, and the beautiful book is out! @sinha_trishla will defend her thesis MOM MATTERS on 2nd April, after the LLNEXT symposium on 1st April. Stay tuned for the program and the link to the online stream! @UMCGgenetica @researchumcg

Come work with us! We have a PhD position on the analysis of longitudinal microbiome data in large population cohorts. This position is part of ExposomeNL consortium and will be embedded in @UMCGgenetica and @GroMicrobiome . werkenbijumcg.nl/-/vacatures/ph… Application deadline 2 March

Congratulations to our newest PhD, Dr. Sana Garmaeva! With cum laude!

What a proud moment! Congrats Sana @Sapsana2 for this achievement! Happy to work with you in the past years, together with @SashaZhernakova , @GroMicrobiome

Congratulations to Siobhan, a new PhD in the LLNEXT team! Her I mportant work on nutrition, diet, microbiome, early life development, and mental health is highlighted in @dvhn_nl today! @GroMicrobiome @UMCGgenetica @researchumcg

So happy and proud of Dr. Johanne Spreckels @spreckelsje, who defended her PhD thesis “Feeding the gut microbes” today! Johanne’s defense is the first in the LLNEXT team, it’s a huge milestone for all of us, @GroMicrobiome, @UMCGgenetica. Co-supervised by @jingyuan_fu, @RGacesa

Congratulations to our newest PhD, Dr. Johanne Spreckels!

Mini symposium for the upcoming thesis defense of Johanne Spreckels: John Penders is giving the overview of 25 years of gut microbiome research @spreckelsje @penderslab @GroMicrobiome @UMCGgenetica

Congrats @_LeiLiu on earning his well-deserved Ph.D. title. Proud PI with @HermieHarm2388 and @johnrossen

Congratulations to @_LeiLiu, supervisors and @GroMicrobiome team!
