Delighted to share that I’ve been awarded the prestigious Polish-Czech Lead Agency Grant! 🎉Our project will explore how the sinonasal microbiota modulates airway immunity & allergic inflammation, in collaboration with Dr Sabina Górska. @mbuavcr.bsky.social #Nasalmicrobiome #Airways #Allergy #GAČR

The deadly Klebsiella pneumoniae can resist nearly all antibiotics. Colleagues found a new antibody that blocks its protective coat, helping the immune system clear the infection. This offers hope against the “silent pandemic” of #AMR.

Monoclonal antibodies protect against pandrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae - Nature
Capsule-specific human monoclonal antibodies are protective against bloodstream infection by Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 147 in a mouse model of septicaemia, and could provide a useful strategy against pathogens with antimicrobial resistance.

Pleased to share that my perspective on the therapeutic potential of the nasal microbiota in treating chronic rhinosinusitis has been included in a recent article in New Scientist Magazine 👇 @newscientist.com @mbuavcr.bsky.social www.newscientist.com/article/2494...
Can a strange new treatment finally relieve chronic sinus infections?
Constant loss of smell, facial pain and a blocked nose are a reality for the 10 per cent of people living with chronic rhinosinusitis, a disease long-neglected by research. Targeting the nasal microbi...

The group in #brianhie.bsky.social at Stanford used AI to design the first-ever functional bacteriophages. AI can explore countless phage genomes in silico, speeding discovery of new alternatives to antibiotics. A breakthrough for #AMR, but also raises ethical & safety questions. #AI #Biotech

In a new preprint from @brianhie.bsky.social's lab, the team reports the first generative design of viable bacteriophage genomes.

Leveraging Evo 1 & Evo 2, they generated whole genome sequences, resulting in 16 viable phages with distinct genomic architectures.

(edited repost) Thrilled to see our computational work on adaptive shaping of behavior (we call it outcome-based curriculum learning) in PLoS Comp Biol! @wl-tong.bsky.social, @gautamreddy.bsky.social & I formalize curricula in any RL task that can be framed as sequential simple-to-complex behavior.
Adaptive algorithms for shaping behavior
Author summary Animals are commonly trained by ‘shaping’ their behavior using a sequence of simpler tasks towards a complex behavior. Numerous schools of thought have proposed heuristics for shaping b...

New study: NAPs haven’t always led to quick reductions in antibiotic sales. But they may still strengthen infection prevention & control, surveillance, and stewardship. With clearer goals, these efforts could hopefully deliver lasting gains against AMR. #AMR #IPC
