Applying a comprehensive understanding for the theories and methods of a life science discipline, perform work directly involved in research projects, interpreting results and participation in experim...

The 2nd International Symposium on Bifidobacterial Biology (ISBB) – Parma, Italy – September 18–19, 2026.

UBC researchers have engineered gut bacteria that dim their fluorescent glow in the presence of illness.

Here, with metagenomic analyses on longitudinal samples collected from 195 mother-infant pairs, the authors show that the breast milk microbiome contributes to infant gut assembly through bacterial st...

The University of Chicago is a private, nondenominational, culturally rich and ethnically diverse coeducational research university located in Hyde Park, Chicago.

The gut microbiota produces metabolites that are important for host physiology and have critical roles in the development of diseases, such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer....

Chen et al. report PhageMaP, a high-throughput approach to generate and characterize genome-wide loss-of-function phage libraries. PhageMaP systematically interrogates conditional gene essentiality, p...

The first two bacterial genomes were sequenced nearly 30 years ago (1, 2). The cost of one of those sequences, that of Haemophilus influenzae, was over 1,000,000 U.S. dollars and took multiple years (...

Researchers have demonstrated a high-impact approach for dissecting complex host-microbe interactions in the infant microbiome, revealing new possibilities for studying the broader microbial world.
