Final work from The Sonnenburg Lab led by the twitter-less Dylan Dodd out now in Nature Communications! We identify a genetic locus in C. sporogenes for hippurate production with the un-expected involvement of host beta-oxidation nature.com/articles/s4146…

My first first-author paper is out on biorxiv! Are you curious about how diet influences which bacteria thrive in our gut microbiome? Check it out here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Quick summary (and a dance version!) below 1/

This past Friday, Rebecca Gellman gave a fantastic her thesis presentation on “Differential carbohydrate metabolism shapes colonization by intestinal Bacteroidetes” Congratulation Dr. Gellman! We are excited for her next adventure as a postdoc in the Comstock lab at The University of Chicago

Excited to see our Cell Resource article out in print today: "Ultra-deep sequencing of Hadza hunter-gatherers recovers vanishing gut microbes." doi.org/10.1016/j.cell… . This article presents a deep dive into the impact of industrialization on the gut microbiome (1/5)

Congratulations Leah!!

Excited to share our new technique for studying IgA binding in the microbiome! Fascinated by IgA since joining the The Sonnenburg Lab , this work beautifully leverages Sean Spencer, MD, PhD's immunology & my metagenomics expertise to make fundamental discoveries doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…

Very excited to share this work, inspired by Matt Olm and my mutual intrigue with IgA and conversations had as he interviewed for The Sonnenburg Lab. A big thanks to Matt for driving this project with his truly exceptional metagenomics & bioinformatics skills and enthusiasm.

A fantastic postdoc position in bioinformatic microbiome research is available in The Sonnenburg Lab at Stanford! I'm leaving after 4 great years to start my lab at Boulder, and Justin is looking to fill my position. DM me or email Justin ([email protected]) for questions
