Yesterday, @BMS and @Vedanta announced #Opdivo-#microbiome combination therapy clinical collaboration; in June, @Merck and @4DPharma announced similar #Keytruda deal. Interested to see what impact the microbiome could have on #cancer #immunotherapy! businesswire.com/news/home/2…

Clinical data from @MaaT_Pharma and from @sloan_kettering in AML and other #blood cancers show the beneficial effect of our own #microbiome. The microbiome’s power to intercept disease keeps surfacing as a key determinant of its therapeutic potential. businesswire.com/news/home/2…

Recently, @NatureBiotech published "Translating Microbiome Futures", a thought-provoking piece outlining key challenges in developing #microbiome #therapeutics. I've collected some of my own thoughts on the discussion in this @BioVoxBelgium article: biovox.eu/insights/detail/a-…

Materials #scientists at @MIT have shown how encapsulating a #probiotic and pairing it up with an #antibiotic can help eradicate #MRSA and other #bacteria in chronic wounds. Excited to see different fields coming together to translate the #microbiome! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
