Very happy to have completed my PhD at @embl.org Heidelberg! 🎓✅ Grateful for all the incredible people I’ve met along the way. 🙏 Special thanks to my mentors Georg Zeller (@zellerlab.bsky.social) and Michael Zimmermann (@zimmermannlab.bsky.social) for the support, guidance, and great memories! ✨🚀

Last month, @fabianspringer.bsky.social defended his PhD entitled "Integrative Multi-Omics Analyses of the Cancer Tissue Microbiome". He investigated how intra-tumoral bacteria relate to host tumor features across genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolic layers. Congrats Dr. Springer! 🎈

Wrapping up #EESMicrobiome 🦠✨ 🎤 Last talk on 'Deciphering the human microbiome with chemistry' by Emily Balskus (Harvard University) 🎉 Congratulations to our poster prize winners – stay tuned for more details on the prizes and a full event report from our conference reporter. Until next time! 🌍🧫

Glycans, gut bugs, and Cayman in Heidelberg! Quinten Ducarmon presented his work at #EESMicrobiome2025, sharing insights into glycan metabolism of the human gut microbiome and introducing the Cayman tool. #Microbiome #Glycobiology #Metabolism #EMBO #EMBL #HumanGut

Meta-analyses, CRC, and microbes in Heidelberg! @selinpekel.bsky.social presented a poster at #EESMicrobiome 2025, showing how a universal microbiome signature for CRC emerges across cohorts, ages of onset , and sequencing methods. #Microbiome #ColorectalCancer #EMBL #MetaAnalysis #LUMC

Enzymes, geometry, and big data in Liverpool! @rhackett.bsky.social presented his project at #ISMBECCB2025, showcasing matching of catalytic motifs for enzyme function prediction. #StructuralBioinformatics #EnzymeFunction #CatalyticMotifs #ProteinStructure #EMBL #LUMC

Fresh look, same science, our newly redesigned website is live: zellerlab.org! It includes an overview of our research mission, team, publications, and software. Since 2023, we’re based at LUMC as part of LUCID, while still maintaining ties to @embl.org Heidelberg.

After a long silence on X (for obvious reasons), the Zeller Lab is now on Bluesky! We’ll post updates soon on what’s been happening in the lab over the past few months. For the future, we promise to share our News in a more timely manner here on this channel. #Microbiome #Bioinformatics #ZellerLab
