A fantastic talk from CMR's Prof Phil Pope (@microbesrule.bsky.social) at today’s QUT School of Biomedical Sciences seminar series. Phil shared how his team uses meta-omic technologies to interrogate the complex microbial communities that are integral to animal health, nutrition and gut function.

We are looking for PhD students to join us at the Centre for Microbiome Research. A range of projects covering gut microbiome in animal health and nutrition, microbial responses to climate change and microbial methane mediation. More info found here 👉 www.seek.com.au/job/81728956...
