Sneak peek: 2 weeks ago, our team presented the GUT-BASE: our new atlas mapping how gut microbes transform drugs.

We profiled thousands of microbe–drug interactions across gut species as a first step toward understanding — and eventually predicting — how the microbiome shapes drug metabolism.

📍Paper alert 📍

Our new preprint is available on: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

Here, we show the development of a GC-MS/MS method for the quantification of 120 compounds produced by gut bacteria, including SCFA, indols, organic acids, and amino acid derivatives.

Job Alert!
📍Postdoctoral Fellow - NMR-based metabolomics📍

The Metabolomics Core Facility (MCF) is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to expand our expertise in NMR-based metabolomics and contribute to both service provision and method development.

Wrap up on #EESMicrobiology @embl.org | @embo.org last week: grateful for the chance to give a talk and share some of our latest work — amazing science and even better people 🧫✨

Come check out the talk from Mariia, postdoc in our lab, at #EESMicrobiology today!

We are proud to have her as part of our scientific community and look forward to her future endeavours.🎓

🎓 Congratulations to Dr. Amber Brauer on successfully defending her PhD thesis, “Metabolic Interactions in the Entero-Hepatic Cycle,” supervised by Dr. Michael Zimmermann and Prof. Dr. Anne-Claude Gavin. Thesis Committee: Prof. Pascale Vonaesch and Prof. Mirko Trajkovski.

Call for #ARISE2 Fellowship Programme!

The Metabolomics Core Facility at EMBL Heidelberg is looking for a highly motivated person interested in developing computational pipelines for metabolomics data analysis and open data sharing.

www.embl.org/training/ari...
Call opening: 30 June

Our group postdoc @zmahnoor.bsky.social, was invited as a guest on "The Knowledge Catalyst" podcast to speak about her experience with Reproducibility in Metabolomics Computational Workflows and the Implementation of the FAR principles. Check out the episode at: www.embl.org/about/info/o...

Today, at the MSB unit seminar, our MSCA postdoc Anoop Singh spoke about quorum-sensing mediated bacterial interactions and biofilm formation in CRC-associated bacteria.

His findings aim to provide insights into CRC development and aid in developing therapeutics against pathogenic biofilms.

Bacteria can influence how sugars modify proteins in the brain – shown for the first time by EMBL researchers.

In their study, the scientists describe a new method to study glycosylation systematically & quantitatively, leading to new biological insights. 🧪🧠📈

Curious about how gut bacteria can modulate signatures in the brain?

Check out our new collaboration paper that shows how gut bacteria can influence the molecular pattern of glycosylation!

All data can be interactively explored 🖥️ apps.embl.de/glycoapp/.

Welcome onboard Leyla!
Leyla is our new master's student and she will combine public untargeted metabolomics data & machine learning to predict potential drug biotransformation in gut microbes by highlighting key metabolic interactions.

We have one postdoc position open with the Alliance Interinstitutional Postdoc Program.
