Excited to share our preprint on the South American MicroBiome Archive (saMBA)! 🌎🦠. We analysed one of the regions with the fewest microbiome samples but some of the highest biodiversities. 📄: shorturl.at/Lmvp5 🧵: What did we find—and why? Find out 👇 #microbiome #gut-microbiome (1/8)

First paper from my PD at @apcmicrobiomeirel.bsky.social out! 🥳 Do you want to know how acute stress enhances synaptic plasticity? Our latest study shows that the gut microbiota is essential. @jfcryan.bsky.social @kjdoriordan.bsky.social sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0028390825001406?s=08

📢Join the APC forum next Tuesday IN PERSON to listen to @julientap.bsky.social 🦠🍔🥦 This will be followed by a 30min Q&A session for #earlycareer scientists (2-2:30pm)🥼 @apcmicrobiomeirel.bsky.social

Had a great time attending and presenting my poster at the iPSC ECNP in Würzburg. Nice opportunity to exchange ideas about stem cells with experts in the field. ☺️ #INSPIREMSCA @inspiremsca.bsky.social @apcmicrobiomeirel.bsky.social @jfcryan.bsky.social @ucc.ie

The gut microbiome may play a key role in brain tumour pathology via the gut–brain axis. In Trends in Molecular Medicines cover article, Jack Gleeson, @lilykeane.bsky.social & @jfcryan.bsky.social explore the microbiome’s impact on aggressive brain cancer. Read full article tinyurl.com/34zv7um7

🚨 PhD Opportunity in Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis & Bioinformatics! 🚨 Are you passionate about microbiome science, #Bioinformatics, and #Neuroscience? We’re looking for a highly motivated #PhD student to join the #Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis Research Group with @jfcryan.bsky.social and Ger Clarke

Pulled together this starter pack for Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis Research. 🧠🦠🥼 Hope it is helpful for the people joining in here and nucleating a community. May have missed people, please leave a reply and I can then add to the pack. Cheers. go.bsky.app/PZhXP7R
