Ecosystems are like Jenga towers. Remove too many species, and collapse is inevitable. That’s why BCOMING studies how biodiversity protects us from emerging diseases. (2/2)

Last week, our partner Pauline Van Leeuwen shared BCOMING–Kasetsart Uni microbiome research at the 8th International Rodent Biology Conference in Australia. 🌏 Proud to see our work on biodiversity & disease risk go global!

Last week marked World Lake Day 🌊 Lakes are vital for biodiversity – they provide habitats, regulate ecosystems, and support life far beyond their shores. Protecting them means protecting us all. (2/2)

5 million years of loneliness Microbial life evolves without us, shaping disease in invisible ways. #BCOMING explores how hidden ecosystems reveal biodiversity’s role in resilience and disease control. 🧬 It’s more than what we see — it’s a molecular archive. (1/2)

Can nature help fight disease? Biodiversity can both shield us and increase risks. #BCOMING explores how ecosystems influence disease spread — and why research and monitoring matter for public health. 🧠 Understanding dilution and amplification effects may help prevent future outbreaks.
