Very happy to share that the work I've been doing with @saramitri.bsky.social is now out on biorxiv! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We broadly ask how are microbial interactions distributed, is there a common shape across datasets, what drives it, and why it matters. Summary thread below 🧵 1/17
Metabolic processes shape microbial interaction distributions
Microbial communities are largely driven by metabolic interactions, whereby species compete for shared resources and exchange byproducts. Such interactions are commonly classified by their sign alone....

From a Workshop to a Perspective piece (on modelling AMR within microbiomes 🦠), glad to have been part of this! Big thanks to Lisa Pagani and @rleonsampedro.bsky.social for carrying it through, and to the Collegium Helveticum for hosting the kickoff meeting 👋
New Perspective out co-led with Lisa Pagani! We look at how microbiome ecology and evolution shape AMR across scales, from within-host communities to hospitals and environments, and how mathematical models can help us understand them. @natmicrobiol.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Modelling the role of the microbiome in antimicrobial resistance across scales - Nature Microbiology
The microbiome plays a significant yet underexplored role in antimicrobial resistance by influencing ecological and evolutionary processes. This Perspective proposes a framework to integrate microbiom...
