So happy to have welcomed these fantastic people — @tovefall.bsky.social and her team, @antagomir.bsky.social and his team, and @robdfinn.bsky.social — to Tartu for Gene Forum 2025! We are grateful for the insightful microbiome talks and the memorable shared experiences! See you soon in Heidelberg!

Winning Best Poster Award is always exciting — but receiving it at the SymbNet Summer School feels truly unbelievable! 🚀


The level of expertise from the faculty was sky-high, and the talent of students made me feel like I need to work more to keep up 😱

Thank you to organizers of the Research Days of Institute of Biomedicine and Translational Medicine for inviting me to present our project on type 2 diabetes medications and the gut microbiome. I really appreciate the feedback and questions. Find out more from the preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Fecal microbial load is a major determinant of gut microbiome variation and a confounder for disease associations A machine-learning approach enables the quantification of microbial load (microbial cells per gram) in fecal samples based on the relative microbiome profile. The predicted microbial load emerged as a...

A novel framework for assessing causal effect of microbiome on health: long-term antibiotic usage as an instrument Assessing causality is undoubtedly one of the key questions in microbiome studies for the upcoming years. Since randomized trials in human subjects are often unethical or difficult to pursue, analy...

New paper! Nele Taba and @oliveraasmets.bsky.social demonstrate how antibiotics use can be applied to determine the causal effect of microbiome on many diseases. Find out more here: doi.org/10.1080/1949... 🎉
