隨著微生物組的廣泛多樣性被揭示，研究正不斷朝新的領域邁進，我們對微生物組在健康、疾病和預防中的重要作用的理解也在不斷深化。微生物組作為促進人體健康的有前途的手段備受認可，並引起廣泛關注。研究人員和行業相關人員的合作，將微生物組的研究成果推向市場，創造了獨特的投資機會。這一趨勢與大規模的聯合研究和序列數據共享相結合，使微生物組在科學和醫療領域具有重要影響力，並成為未來干預不可或缺的組成部分。
Raes實驗室通過引入下一代大規模測序和創新的計算方法，在這一領域積極開展工作。 我們的研究旨在系統層面上探索健康人體微生物組的功能和多樣性。此外，通過揭示不依賴於宿主因素的腸道微生物組類型（腸型），我們加深了對疾病時微生物組變化的理解。我們的研究範圍還涵蓋了對各種腸道疾病微生物標誌物預測能力的研究。此外，我們還率先致力於發展用於分析（下一代）序列數據以及分析各種環境中（如海洋和土壤）群落特性的計算方法。
我將在8th Microbiome R&D and Business Collaboration Congress: Asia上擔任開幕主題演講。該活動旨在介紹關於微生物組和益生菌的創新研究，為研究人員和開發者提供將科學研究成果轉化為實用產品的有益洞察和戰略。
我將於2024年5月7日以「健康與疾病中微生物組的定量分析」(Quantitative microbiome profiling in health and disease) 為題發表演講。期待在那裡見到您。
讓我們在新加坡見。

Perseus Biomics develops DynaMAP, a novel and uncompromised metagenomic method. It uses DNA fluorocoding and optical mapping to profile complex microbiomes down to strain level in just a few hours and at a price point competitive to amplicon sequencing. Speed, taxonomic resolution and cost-efficiency, DynaMAP has it all, unlike the cost/performance trade-offs between 16S and Shotgun. DynaMAP accelerates microbiome profiling and remove bottlenecks in pre-clinical studies, precision nutrition and clinical applications.
