I'm very honored to have been selected to join 75 Nobel Laureates and 600 Young Scientists for the 75th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting #LINO75! Huge thanks to the @ec.europa.eu's #MSCA for the nomination and to the great team at @cibiocm.bsky.social lab for supporting me along my journey!

Have you listened to the #MVIFconversations podcast? There is a new episode where @cpavloud.bsky.social and I talked to @merenbey.bsky.social about open source, mentoring, and believe me it's a GREAAAT one!!

Today at #MBTL2026 during Session 13: Computational, Integrative and AI Tools for Meta-Omics 🦠 Riccardo Vanini will talk about the gut microbial proteases in inflammatory bowel disease 🤝 Nicola Segata will give a keynote on human-to-human microbiome transmission #metagenomics #MicrobiomeToLife

Tomorrow at #MBTL2026 do not miss Session 13 COMPUTATIONAL, INTEGRATIVE AND AI TOOLS FOR META-OMICS and a keynote lecture! #MicrobiomeToLife

Now @livi-ricci.bsky.social presenting the microTOUCH-baby study (doi.org/10.1038/s415...) at the #MicrobiomeToLife @cibiocm.bsky.social

New #MicrobiomeDigest is OUT: microbiomedigest.com/2026/03/20/m... - gut, nasal, respiratory tract microbiome and more - rhizosphere / @luederslab.bsky.social - invitation for the next week @microbiomevif.bsky.social AND listen to the new #MVIFconversations episode!

Best way to start #MicrobiomeToLife: a packed #biobakery workshop led by Aitor Blanco-Míguez (#prebiomics)! Looking forward to the next sessions! cc @fasnicar.bsky.social @hutlab.bsky.social

Join #MVIF 47 cassyni.com/s/mvif-47 and #MeetTheSpeakers We are delighted to welcome Lindsay Hall (@halllab.bsky.social‬) as a keynote speaker, who will discuss early life microbiome dynamics!

Today at #MicrobiomeToLife Session 1: THE MICROBIOME FROM PREGNANCY TO EARLY LIFE 🍼 @livi-ricci.bsky.social's talk on microbial strain transmission between infants Session 3: MICROBIOME, AGING AND DISEASE 🥗 @fasnicar.bsky.social's talk on gut microbiome associations w/diet & cardiometabolic health

There are no single dietary intervention that works for two identical twins Nicola segata acknowledges the multiple variables beyond microbiome accounting for that @cibiocm.bsky.social #GMFH2026

Dietary interventions in different cohorts showed consistent microbial signatures Nicola Segata @cibiocm.bsky.social #GMFH2026

Another great talk : NSegata @cibiocm.bsky.social at #GMFH2026: our gut microbiome is built from microbes around us the ones we eat (e.g. fermented foods), partners, pets, and our environment. A reminder that microbiome interventions should consider these microbial inputs. @gmfhx.bsky.social

Next week, our lab members will be presenting at the Microbiome to Life in Belgrade 🇷🇸! Here's what to look forward to: March 19, Session 1: 🍼 @livi-ricci.bsky.social on microbial strain transmission between infants in the nursery and its role in shaping early gut microbiome development 1/3

This week, at the MultiOmics symposium at NOI Techpark 🇮🇹 Nicola Segata will give a keynote talk "The Microbiome along the Diet –Health Axis: Findings and Application Prospects" noi.bz.it/en/events/mu...

Today I'll be sharing my perspective on open source in microbiome science w/focus on the data resources & community efforts. This talk is presented under the ☂️ of three communities I'm deeply connected to @cibiocm.bsky.social @microbiomevif.bsky.social @bioconductor.bsky.social luma.com/uvbsexlh

Reflections on MVIF #46 (Feb. 9-11) We brought together researchers across continents for an inspiring exploration of microbiome science. Whether joining from the Atlantic (ATL) or Pacific (PAC) regions, our community connected to advance knowledge that transcends borders. 1/10

So thrilled to share episode 2 of #MVIFconversations with you all! Getting to sit down with @bykriscampbell.bsky.social was such a privilege! If you're curious about where microbiome science is headed and why rigorous science communication matters more than ever, this one's for you. 1/2

Growing together, bacterium after bacterium | EurekAlert! www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

“To me it was a surprise to see how mums also acquired bacteria from other families through their kids” María Carmen Collado said. Read the full paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Every parent who has had or has kids in nursery becomes all too quickly aware of how the kids share their viruses. Now data shows how the gut microbiome is also shaped by the nursery environment especially parents and the other kids 🧪

🧪 Sending babies to nursery completely reshapes their microbiomes. Infants attending nursery share 15-20% of microbial species with peers after four months. This peer transmission exceeds family contributions, indicating social interaction drives gut diversity. 🧬💻

A few months at nursery gives a roughly 1-year-old baby more new microbes for its gut microbiome than it has acquired in its WHOLE LIFE up until that point from its family. 🤯 🧪 #microbiome #science My latest for @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Sending babies to nursery completely reshapes their microbiomes. Socializing at a young age helps to develop greater diversity in children’s microbiota, according to an analysis of baby-to-baby transmission of gut bacteria. 🧪👶🦠 #medsky @medsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

. @nature.com NEWS: Sending babies to nursery completely reshapes their microbiomes “Maybe in 20 years, we will find that people still need to thank their friends at day care for the microbes they got when they were there” Nicola Segata says. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
