Bäckhed Lab takes a translational research approach to investigate how the gut microbiota contributes to cardiometabolic disease.



umu.se/en/news/growin… We welcome Chinmay Dwibedi @ChiDwi_Tweets, our newest Group Leader and DDLS Fellow by @scilifelab! Chinmay's lab, located at @KliniskMB, @umeauniversity, will focus on high resolution metagenomic analysis of bacteria strains & evolution of gut bacteria.


Registration is open for NDPIA's Microbiota and Health course held at @storabrannbo on Oct 7-11! In addition to the lectures, we will have two workshops this year that focus on retrieving, annotating and analysing metabarcoding data in R. Register today: ndpia.se/events/microbi…


Congratulations to Juleen Zierath who is the recipient of the EASD-Novo Nordisk Foundation Diabetes Prize for Excellence 2024! 👏 @JuleenRZierath receives the award at #EASD2024 in Madrid to recognise her outstanding achievements in #diabetes #research. @novonordiskfond





By adding bacteria to our gut, removing them, or changing what we eat, we could reduce our risk of developing diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. A new research project, led by @foodDTUdk at @DTUtweet and funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, aims to find out more about this link, ultimately leading to new prevention or treatment options for people living with, or at risk of, cardiometabolic disease. novonordiskfonden.dk/en/news/bacter… #obesity #diabetes #cardiovasculardisease
