People, I am hiring for a very cool project. Spread the word or apply! 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/44...

Last week: #NNDC2026 in DC. Tomorrow: @hsph.harvard.edu Nutrition Round Table. Next Monday: I’ll be speaking at #HNRCA @tufts.edu — link in comments. Strong momentum in food data science. Good to see this community finally scaling!🤗

❄️Snow blizzard day = good moment for a team update❄️ I am very proud of the work done by this cohort of postdocs. Of the five abstracts we submitted to the @netscisociety.bsky.social Conference, all were accepted, with three contributed talks and two lightning talks. 👇 Abstracts below in the 🧵

To understand how food molecules shape the gut #microbiome and human health, we need to go beyond species abundance and adopt a mechanistic, system-level view powered by #NetworkScience Happy to share our first concrete step in this direction: 📄 shorturl.at/XkyUM

🧪 Last week @mgbresearch.bsky.social visited our Lab to talk about the “Nutrition Dark Matter” and why food chemistry might matter more than calories. 🔗 Read the Q&A: mgriblog.org/2025/06/13/n... @harvardmed.bsky.social @gordanaispirova.bsky.social @salvod-lombardo.bsky.social

Nutrition Dark Matter, Ultraprocessed Foods and the Chemical Complexity of What We Eat

Nutrition dark matter refers to the 139,000+ compounds in foods that researchers are just beginning to learn more about.

Beautiful work from Salvo, who joined our Lab this April. Looking forward to mapping how food molecules modulate our health together!

Salvo Danilo Lombardo@salvod-lombardo.bsky.social · last yr.

Have you ever wondered how protein interactions change across tissues and over time? #networkmedicine #development #aging 👇 Check what we found under the incredible mentorship of #menchelab & @andre-rendeiro.com : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Incredibly honored to see our work featured in the New England Journal of Medicine. Grateful to an outstanding team and collaborators who made this possible. A milestone we’ll never forget. @mgbresearch.bsky.social @harvardmed.bsky.social @nunetsi.bsky.social

Food contains more than 139,000 molecules, which influence nearly half the human proteome. Systematic analysis of food–chemical interactions can potentially advance nutrition science and drug discovery. Learn more in a new Review Article: nej.md/3EEDtq4 #MedSky #EndoSky #GastroSky

Thank you, Ilaria Iacoviello , for the great interview & your commitment to science! And to Fondazione Leonardo for making it possible. As for @menicgiulia.bsky.social , hearing her say these things fills me with pride every day. youtu.be/SkHrAXtvGXc

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

There's a wide range of "ultra-processed foods." A recent Nature Foods paper zoomed in on this www.nature.com/articles/s43... and the graph rankings are shown below from @sciam.bsky.social www.scientificamerican.com/article/whic...

Thank you to Dr. Bruce Levy & the 2024 Chair’s Research Award organizers for a fantastic event! Transitioning from physics to medical research has been a journey made possible by a culture of mentorship & support. Grateful to Dr. Dawn DeMeo, my 'medicine teacher.' Congrats to all awardees!

A paper in Nature Food presents GroceryDB, a dataset with more than 50,000 food items sold at major grocery stores in the US that uses big data to provide information on processing—categorized by store, food category and price range. https://go.nature.com/3E7DMZu 🔒

This seems to be a very practical resource. Love it. Important as the body of evidence linking consumption of ultra processed foods to adverse health outcomes is increasingly robust.
