New #preprint! Optimizing microbial intake helps to maintain the gut microbiome diversity 🦠
In this work, we build a model of gut microbial community in which microbes compete for a shared carrying capacity and are regularly replenished through feeding (1/2)

Optimizing microbial intake helps to maintain the gut microbiome diversity
The animal gut holds a myriad of microbes with demonstrated importance for the host's health. Properties of this microbiome have been studied in different host conditions in search of the best biomark...

#StandingUpForScience today, and hopefully everyday for many more years to come. In solidarity with my US colleagues, against facism that is already there, at our door, and against the very real threats that linger over French research ✊️

There will be solidarity demonstrations with the US research community all over France this Friday, March 7: standupforscience.fr
In Marseille, the demonstration will take place at noon, 12pm, in front of the Natural History Museum at the Palais Longchamps (standupforscience.fr/tous-les-eve...).
Stand Up For Science France | Le 7 mars, nous défendons les sciences – parce que les sciences sont un bien commun.
Le 7 mars, mobilisons-nous pour les sciences ! En écho à Stand Up For Science aux États-Unis et face aux menaces contre les institutions scientifiques, des actions auront lieu dans chaque ville universitaire de France. Pour participer, rejoignez l’un des comités d’organisations ci-dessous. Jusqu’à présent, 2834 participants ont rejoint le mouvement.

A ‘Second Tree of Life’ Could Wreak Havoc, Scientists Warn (Gift Article)
Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said.

Our new paper in #PLOSBiology is out! With Román Zapién-Campos and Arne Traulsen we worked on extracting maximum statistical information from microbiome time series data for parameter inference. Check it out!
How can we infer #microbiome dynamics parameters more accurately from time series data? This #PLOSBiology study uses stochastic models to improve parameter inference and so modeling/prediction... @florencebansept.bsky.social plos.io/3CU1RT1

It is still time to apply to the two master internships we propose - one around metabolic fitness landscapes, and the other around the role of phages in the gut microbiome. Contact us!
We are proposing two master internships in the group for 2025. Check the details here: flobansept.github.io, and don't hesitate to reach out if interested!

Scientific seminars are resuming at full speed in the dpt. We'll have two great speakers in September: @florencebansept.bsky.social on Sept 26 to discuss Host-associated microbial communities, and Ahmed Elkoussy
on Sept 27 to talk about single cell and spacial genomics data analysis!
