Led by Emily Wroot, I present our recent Comment in @natmicrobiol.nature.com "Opportunities for microbiome-based therapeutics in preterm infants" Hopefully this provides a timely insight for clinicians and researchers interested in preterm infants, and beyond! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Many congratulations @stewartlab.bsky.social on this amazing achievement - so richly deserved - #BlavatnikAwards Life Sciences Laureate 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 🎉 Very happy for you and great interview 👇🏾

In our latest blog post we catch up with #BlavatnikAwards Life Sciences Laureate @stewartlab.bsky.social, who recently attended the Blavatnik Awards ceremony and public symposium and gave talks about his preventive health work on preterm infant microbiomes 🫄👶 lister-institute.org.uk/congratulati...

The amazing Prof Chris Stewart @stewartlab.bsky.social gives his inaugural lecture👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

We had the pleasure of interviewing Chris earlier this week for the Lister Institute blog, and were excited to learn about his team's new preprint: a game-changer in understanding how human breast milk influences the infant microbiome.

🎉 Congratulations to @stewartlab.bsky.social who has been named the Life Sciences Laureate at the 2025 Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists in the UK 🎖️ Read more 👇 www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articl... #WeAreNCL

Huge congratulations to our colleague Professor Chris Stewart on receiving the esteemed Life Sciences Laureate at the Blavatnik Awards 2025! This is a first for @newcastleuni.bsky.social and we couldn't be more proud of Chris & his ground-breaking research! tinyurl.com/LaureateAward

Congratulations to AMI member Dr Christopher Stewart of @newcastleuni.bsky.social who has been named as a finalist in the eighth Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists in the UK! He is the 2023 winner of AMI’s WH Pierce Prize for microbiology. www.the-microbiologist.com/news/ami-mem...

Fabulous meeting in Hong Kong by the New Cornerstone Science Foundation. It was great to meet so many researchers in person whose work I have admired for some time. Thanks for having me!

Really enjoyable discussion. Well done, Dolan!

Introducing our latest preprint which discovered Clostridium sp. grow on HMOs. Using computational and experimental approaches we show this has beneficial consequences for the developing microbiome and the host. But there is nuance. A 🧵... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Pleasure to attend and learn about the fantastic on-going research 🙂

We also were happy to welcome our keynote speaker @stewartlab.bsky.social from @newcastleuni.bsky.social to speak about his work on diet-microbe-host interactions in early life as well as his career progression and advice for our student collective

JOB CLAXON! I am recruiting a post-doctoral researcher on a BBSRC-funded project (36 months) on the genetics and functional genomics of vancomycin resistance in enterococci. Further details here: edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid... Please DM or email me if you want to discuss this post.

Congratulations to all 2025 Microbiology Society Prize Winners, particularly U Birmingham colleague @halllab.bsky.social for the Peter Wildy prize 'for outstanding contributions to microbiology education, communication of microbiology to the public'. microbiologysociety.org/news/society...

New fully funded PhD studentship focused on breast milk and infant microbiome at Newcastle University. Applications close December 13th. Feel free to contact me if interested. Please RT eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Paper 2: Probiotics have similar impacts regardless of gestational age www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Two new open-access papers from the group, largely showing so-called "negative results", but with important connotations for the care of preterm infants at risk of NEC. Paper 1: Milk microbes are not associated with NEC www.cell.com/cell-reports...
