It is such a privilege to consistently interact with an incredibly diverse group of African microbiome researchers with the common goal of accelerating Microbiome research on the African continent. Together we can! #H3AfricaMicrobiomeTF #AfricanMicrobiomeSpecialInterestGroup

Despite 84% of the world's population residing in low- and middle-income countries, these populations are vastly underrepresented in gut microbiome research. Here, we expand the microbiome atlas of Africa through a study of 1,800 women in four countries. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We recruited ~1800 women in a population study - who generously gave samples and time - from 6 sites in 4 African countries and performed shotgun metagenomic sequencing. All individuals have rich phenotype data.

Our comment piece in Nature outlining the challenges, but more importantly, the opportunities to increasing microbiome research in under-represented countries Boosting microbiome science worldwide could save millions of children’s lives nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Boosting microbiome science worldwide could save millions of children’s lives

Nature - Studies of the microbes living on and in our bodies are conducted mainly in a few rich countries, squandering opportunities to improve the health of people globally.

New study in @NatureComms shows infant gut microbes 'cooperate' to digest #humanmilk oligosaccharides. Not as simple as "microbe X digests HMO Y" - it can be a team effort! #microbiome #breastfeeding nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Community engagement is not easy and we know we have a lot to learn -- for example, what type of meaningful feedback can be given. Hopefully with collaboration from @H3Africa, @Thuls_M's African Microbiome Project and others we can build better community practices
