Our weeklong course on metagenomic community analyses using bioBakery tools has begun, with students from all over the country and beyond! 🎉 Some pics from the first couple of days, held at Broad Institute @broadinstitute.org @efranzosa.bsky.social @jacksumner22.bsky.social @chahat.bsky.social

Meet @jacksumner22.bsky.social👋 Jack earned his PhD at Northwestern University with @ericamhartmann.bsky.social, where he used systems biology approaches to study the lung microbiome during severe pneumonia. As a postdoc in the Huttenhower Lab, he’s now exploring the human virome and phage function.

Transitions in lung microbiota & pneumonia Microbiota states are predictive of pneumonia subtypes & exhibit differential stability & therapy response. Disruptive forces, e.g. aspiration, associated w/changes in gene expression & microbial community www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

Transitions in lung microbiota landscape associate with distinct patterns of pneumonia progression

Sumner et al. show that lung microbial ecosystem dynamics associate with clinical outcomes during severe pneumonia infection. Systematic bronchoscopy paired with integrative multiomics reveals that va...

Excited to share work I led during my PhD - now out in @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social 🎉 Using multiomics, we show that microbiome and host expression profiles dynamically shift during pneumonia treatment and track with clinical outcomes 🧪🫁 #MicroSky www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

I'm hiring a lab technician to help me explore some exciting new questions about virus-host interactions! Biochemistry and/or mammalian cell culture experience is desired.

In light of the current events, I’d encourage other grad students to try this new productivity routine 🙂 *read news* *sigh* *search post-docs in france/italy* *activate emotional self-regulation* *repeat*

ok throwing my obligatory bluesky intro into the pot Heyo! I’m a systems biologist broadly interested in how ecological and evolutionary dynamics drive molecular innovation & emergent properties. Currently exploring this in the lung microbial ecosystem as I wrap up my PhD at Northwestern 👋🧪
