#IHMC26 is starting here in Seoul 🇰🇷 A great opening with Dusko Ehrlich reflecting on the history of the IHMC meetings, followed by a moving tribute to Peer Bork by Jeroen Raes . A meaningful start to what promises to be an exciting week of microbiome science.

#MicrobiomePTsummit Great panel discussion: after the microbiome hype, it’s time to move forward and truly deliver on its promises. We already have strong example. Now it’s also time to regain investors’ trust. Marilia Cravo Johan van Hylckama Vlieg @sarahlebeer.bsky.social Sam Possemiers

Great talk by @jameskinross.bsky.social at #MicrobiomePTSummit. Early-onset cancers are rising. we are missing a key piece: gut microbiome. From birth to adulthood, we disrupt it: antibiotics, low-fiber diets, ultra-processed foods… Are we shaping disease risk decades before it appears?

Impressive keynote from @jfcryan.bsky.social #MicrobiomePTsummit in Lisbon From brain development to ageing and stress response… our microbiota is involved at every step Once again, he delivered a powerful vision of the gut–brain axis. @anasalmeida.bsky.social

Now Wendy Garrett at #GMFH2026 presenting 6 years of work showing how some dietary sulfur-containing amino acids can drive Mucispirillum expansion and initiate an immune cascade leading to CD8 T cell activation. Beautiful mechanistic work. Always a Big fan of Garrett Lab @gmfhx.bsky.social

Another great talk : NSegata @cibiocm.bsky.social at #GMFH2026: our gut microbiome is built from microbes around us the ones we eat (e.g. fermented foods), partners, pets, and our environment. A reminder that microbiome interventions should consider these microbial inputs. @gmfhx.bsky.social

Now refreshing talk from @fasnicar.bsky.social at #GMFH2026 presenting data suggesting Blastocystis may be a marker of good diet and health. Higher abundance associates with better health. Quite thought-provoking given it’s often targeted for eradication in IBS or in FMT @gmfhx.bsky.social

Great talk by @jenswalter15.bsky.social at #GMFH2026 showing that fiber intake well beyond current recommendations (>35 g/day) could bring major health benefits. The real challenge? Adherence. The NiMe™ diet or fiber-fortified foods may help close the gap. @gmfhx.bsky.social

Eran Segal (remotely) at #GMFH2026 showcasing how deep phenotyping + AI foundation models can predict future health — and responses to interventions. Fascinating ! Paving the way for the future of digital / precision medicine. @GMFHx

Now @drharmstrong.bsky.social #GMFH2026 showing that purified fibers (beta-fructans) — or even high-fiber diets — may have negative effects in certain contexts (IBD, MS..), bc altered microbiomes ? Or purified fiber? Another thought-provoking talk challenging old concepts. @gmfhx.bsky.social

Here goes Ciaran Corde at #GMFH2026 on ultra-processed foods. His work suggests that eating rate (fast vs.slow) and energy density may confound associations often attributed to UPFs. Interestingly, no impact of UPFs on the gut microbiome was observed. thought-provoking @gmfhx.bsky.social

Patrick Veiga @patrickveiga.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

First keynote at #GMFH2026 by Lawrence David. Great talk showing how DNA analysis of stool can reveal dietary patterns — even distinguishing differences across countries and wastewater! A glimpse into the future of nutrition epidemiology? 🧬💩 @gmfhx.bsky.social

The French Gut team laced up… and our microbiome loved it! 🏃‍♀️🦠 10K of good vibes, Paris landmarks… and happy gut bacteria 😄 Huge thanks to @MgpsLab & the whole team for the top-notch organization! @inrae

It’s out! My first novel Mission: Microbiome — Metchnikoff’s Legacy - where science meets suspense — is now available in English! Hoping it gets as warm a welcome as the French version. Available worldwide on Amazon : Missionmicrobiome.com (thread 1/4)
