In 2017, the first time after a long stalemate period in the history of Be- larusian Microbiological Society (BNAM) organized the Congress of Mi- crobiologists of Belarus. This marker event rallied microbiologists from different parts of the country to discuss the current state and identify key trends for the development of microbiological science in Belarus, share successes and challenges facing members in their research work, consolidate the efforts for solving important public problems. BNAM has been a full Member of FEMS since 2010 and is currently led by a group of dedicated Belarussian scientists.

AUG 2018 GRANTS CORNER opportunities FEMS Journals Grants How our editors invest in science and support Early Career Scientists We are delighted to announce the FEMS Journals Grants, which will provide an additional €8000 in funding to support early career researchers. This additional funding would not have been possible without the 40 FEMS Journals editors who waived their annual remuneration fee for handling journal manuscripts. The additional funding will feed directly into the FEMS Research and Training Grants. The FEMS Research and Training Grants support and nurture early career researchers to learn new skills and collaborate on new research projects at a host laboratory in a different European country to their country of residence. We extend a huge thanks to our journal editors who have enabled this additional funding for early career researchers. This is a wonderful testament to the commitment of our community in investing in the future of science. Journal Poster Prizes Investing in Science “Based on the research carried out during my PhD and later on as a post-doc I would like to develop my research on the extraction of potential prebiotics from renewable resources and evaluate their effect on gut microbiome along with other applications. Likewise, I hope to focus on the development of bioprocesses to valorise agricultural waste and by-product streams that will enable the production of a multitude of value-added products that could fit in the bioeconomy era.” —Vasiliki Kachrimanidou (Picture: Vasiliki Kachrimaridou and FEMS Microbiology Letters Section Editor Michael Sauer) AUG 2018 Deadlines EVENTS EXtras A new portable laptop-size device can identify dozens of different microbes in your body within hours by speed reading key genetic markers.

  • The NIH Human Microbiome Project Authors: the NIH HMP Working Group (
    Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on October 5, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press The NIH Human Microbiome Project Authors: the NIH HMP Working Group (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/hmp/members.asp) ABSTRACT: The Human Microbiome Project ( HMP), funded as an initiative of the NIH Roadmap for Biomedical Research (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov), is a multi-component community resource. The goals of the HMP are (1) to take advantage of new, high-throughput technologies to characterize the human microbiome more fully by studying samples from multiple body sites from each of at least 250 “normal” volunteers; (2) to determine whether there are associations between changes in the microbiome and health/disease by studying several different medical conditions; and (3) to provide both a standardized data resource and new technological approaches to enable such studies to be undertaken broadly in the scientific community. The ethical, legal, and social implications of such research are being systematically studied as well. The ultimate objective of the HMP is to demonstrate that there are opportunities to improve human health through monitoring or manipulation of the human microbiome. The history and implementation of this new program are described here. INTRODUCTION: It has been known for some time that the human body is inhabited by at least ten times more bacteria than the number of human cells in the body, and that the majority of those bacteria are found in the human gastrointestinal tract (Savage 1977). Throughout the history of microbiology, most human studies have focused on the disease-causing organisms found on or in people; fewer studies have examined the benefits of the resident bacteria.

  • Nature Medicine Essay
    LASKER~KOSHLAND SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT IN MEDICAL SCIENCE AWARD COMMENTARY I never met a microbe I didn’t like Stanley Falkow At the age of 11, I read Paul de Kruif’s Microbe Hunters, which dramatized the discovery of bacteria and viruses and their roles in human disease. The heroes of Microbe Hunters—Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch and others—became my heroes, and I dreamed of becoming a bacte- riologist, doing research on the bacteria that cause disease. I was lucky enough to fulfill my boyhood dream; however, I could never have imagined the path I eventually followed, or how much my views of microbes and disease would change (and continue to do so) in the process. Of course, I did not make this journey alone. During the five decades I worked as an active scientist, I helped train over 100 graduate Figure 1 Lab alumni reunion in 2004, Falkow/Tompkins home, Hamilton, Montana, USA.
