| May 30, 2026 | New ISME Communications study out: we found that total carbon availability, rather than resource complexity, is the primary factor shaping community state shifts in a synthetic microbial community. |
| May 28, 2026 | New PNAS study out: we used a long-term synthetic microbial community experiment to show that evolution can drive major shifts in microbial community structure over time. |
| May 19, 2026 | Leo is joining us for a research group internship to setup a polymicrobial urinary tract infection model system. Johannes is attending the DDLS Fellows Retreat in Epidemiology and Infection Biology in Norrköping on 19-20 May and presenting a flash talk in the PALS Conference 2026 held 20-22 May in Kolmården. A new pre-print is also out on how eco-evolutionary dynamics and antibiotic detoxification interactively determine community antibiotic response. |
| Apr 07, 2026 | Johannes is speaking at the Infect@LU Day on 7 April in Lund and at the SFM Days on 14 April in Gothenburg. |
| Mar 04, 2026 | New: Preprint on ecological tristability in synthetic microbial communities on bioRxiv; and a paper on bacterial clade dynamics under predation accepted in Evolution (preprint). |
| Mar 01, 2026 | Johannes was appointed Assistant Professor (DDLS Fellow) at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, and SciLifeLab. Here is his interview on the appointment at Lund. |
| Jan 10, 2026 | Aava is joining the MEG Lab to implement high-resolution lineage tracking in synthetic community members as her MSc thesis project. Welcome! |
| Oct 09, 2025 | Inga-Katariina received a doctoral research grant from the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation. Congratulations! |
| Jan 01, 2025 | Johannes was appointed Collegium Researcher at the Turku Collegium for Science, Medicine and Technology. |
| May 23, 2024 | Inga-Katariina received a doctoral research grant from the Finnish Cultural Foundation. Congratulations! |
