Where are we on iterative strategies in #microbiome research?

@KorenLab, @sondraturjeman.bsky.social, @Elinav_Lab & @RozeraTommaso update how to move from preclinical models to clinical trials 
From big data and experimental models to clinical trials: Iterative strategies in microbiome research
For microbiome research to be translated into clinical applications, the field needs to move beyond correlational studies; we suggest adopting a multi-phase iterative approach that leverages in vivo and ex vivo strategies, as well as a combination of traditional microbiology, with big-data approac...

I like the notion: Read (a lot), think (for a while), write (to derive new concepts!)

And the result is a fantastic piece about how to move from basic research to clinical relevance! ⤵️
My first paper in Cell!!

And as I've always been a methods person, it suits me well that it's a perspective on how to do sound science! This piece is the product of a ton of reading, a lot of thinking, and a dynamic collaboration!

I had a great week in #Amsterdam at #MindMood&Microbes seeing friends old and new, sharing science, and eating my way through the city

Social, environmental, and developmental factors affect the microbiota of barn owls (Tyto alba) in a cross-fostering experiment - Animal Microbiome
Background Species host diverse microbial communities that can impact their digestion and health, which has led to much interest in understanding the factors that influence their microbiota. We studie...
