We are looking for a postdoc to study single-cell transcriptional heterogeneity in the human skin microbiome.

We have a new protocol mostly developed, but need someone to see it through. Experience with protocol dev or RNAseq appreciated.

Funded by a new grant from MIT-HEALS.

A Nature Outlook article reports on the preliminary evidence that microbiota-based treatments can be beneficial for people with mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety. But how these interventions work is not clear, and human trials are needed. #microbiome #medsky 🧪

Why nurturing the gut microbiota could resolve depression and anxiety

Links between gut microbes and mental health could lead to large-scale trials of probiotic interventions.
