MIT Microbiome Club hosts 5th Annual Microbiome Symposium
Conferences and large scientific meetings energize the research community. Sharing new findings, making new connections, learning about new techniques, exposing trainees to the wider field—these interactions fuel innovation.
How industrialized life remodels the microbiome
A new study from an MIT-led team has revealed that these bacterial populations can remake themselves within the lifetime of their host, by passing genes back and forth.
Progressive Shifts in the Gut Microbiome Reflect Prediabetes and Diabetes Development in a Treatment-Naive Mexican Cohort
To look for associations between the gut microbiome composition and development of Type 2 Diabetes, CMIT collaborated with researchers at institutes and hospitals within Mexico to study a cohort that had not been been diagnosed with, or treated for T2D, avoiding the potential influences of medication and lifestyle changes on gut microbes.
