We bid farewell to @eldoles and @durstingly, two outstanding scientists and colleagues. The positive impact of their contributions, both as mentors to junior lab members and in their research projects, will be felt for years. Best of luck with the next adventure!

Bittersweet day as we wish @lauren282012 a safe trip to 🇨🇦 to start her own lab at @uvic Her work on #Akkermansia genetics has been foundational. In her honor we had 🥞 and celebrated all things Canadian

My #microbiology students prepare an infographic on a microbe for their final project. They can choose virus, eukaryote, archaeon or bacterium... What is your favorite microbe? Does not need to be a pathogen!

Finally! The culmination of almost 5 yrs of work by the brave Akkermaniacs team @DukeMGM. @lauren282012 developed genetics for Akkermansia, an important member of the human microbiota that was until recently considered genetically intractable researchsquare.com/article/r…

Finally, we asked how does the GI respond to mucin consumption by Akkermansia? We used GF mice mono-colonized with wt or Mul mutants and did RNAseq from colons. One of the strongest differences was the repression of mevalonate/cholesterol biosynthetic genes in WT Akkermansia

So what does this mean? It is possible that metabolites produced during mucin consumption dampen the expression of lipid metabolism genes. Whether this contributes to the positive effects of Akkermansia on metabolic health remains TBD. Lots to do but stoked that we now have tools
