Hello world. I'm a researcher at Vedanta Biosciences where we are developing defined bacterial consortia to modulate the microbiome and treat or prevent human disease. General focus areas: microbial ecology, drug discovery, IBD and infectious disease. Wordcloud via scholargoggler.com
looking forward to #ESCMIDGlobal next week in Vienna. I'd love to connect and discuss developing microbiome drugs to prevent infection. Come to the Innovation Theater 12 April at 11:30!

New publication: This is work stems from the mind of Quinten Ducarmon, and was led by PhD student Sam Nooij. Our group contributed to the culturing of the isolates and generating the complete genomes.

Our team published additional results from the Phase 2 CONSORTIUM study for our rCDI candidate, VE303.
This research offers new insights into PK-PD relationships and the mechanisms of action of VE303, providing a rationale for the drug’s protective effects in rCDI.

Nice paper by Nishijima et al, from Bork's lab using machine learning to show that the absolute bacterial load is a major confounder in most human microbiome studies (www.cell.com/cell/fulltex.... Now seems a good time to outline the approaches that we have been developing.

Another lovely feature of this platform to decelerate the dunking/hot takes: if someone has quote-posted you with negative/snarky commentary, you can detach your post from their quote. You can also turn quote posts off altogether when composing a new post.

A great opportunity for sure 👇🏻
Hi friends new and old! I study how microbes interact and evolve in complex communities like the human gut microbiome.🦠🧬💩 I'm thrilled to share that I'm starting a lab at UC Irvine in April 2025 and am recruiting at all levels - please spread the word! kxuelab.com More about my work below...🧵1/n

I'm looking to grow my #microbiome research network in the platform. Is there a way to search for starter packs? Any recommendations?

Feeling inspired by the @bsky.app growth. Might just have to get back into the social media groove. Keep posting all things science and drug dev y’all.

really looking forward to #DDW2024 and to share some of the latest research from VedantaBio on the VE303 defined consortium for preventing rCDI. I'd love to connect.
