The team is hiring a research engineer (or #postdoc) for 12+12 months via the #PReViX project on the #epidemiology of #PathogenX led by @mtsofonea with @laurentjacob, Anna Zhukova, @sebduchene @simonlorierelab, and François Chevenet.

The goal is to implement #web versions of #phylodynamics software packages.

Applicants are expected to have experience in #JavaScript, #PHP, #Python and, ideally, #rust.

#Job description (in French) is at
https://www.college-de-france.fr/fr/actualites/ingenieur-en-bioinformatique-fh-0

Does human genetics explain vaginal #microbiota composition?

Our #GWAS on the #PAPCLEAR study participants, now published after #peer review in #OpenResearchEurope, brings new perspectives on this understudied question.

https://doi.org/10.12688/openreseurope.20462.2

This work was funded by the #EVOLPROOF project from the @ERC_Research, with additional support from the #CNRGH.

#abstract submission is open for the 5th edition of the vaginal #microbiome dynamics conference at the @collegedefrance in Paris (Sept 14-15, 2026)

https://vm2026.sciencesconf.org/submission/submit

Confirmed speakers include Laura Symul (UC Louvain), Jacques Ravel (University of Maryland), Marion Ravit (CEPED), Serena Sanna (IRGB), and Asmaa Tazi (Institut Cochin).

This is a #multidisciplinary event so we welcome submissions in #microbiology #modelling #epidemiology #sociology #genomics

The 5th edition of the #vaginal #microbiome dynamics conference will take place on Sept 14-15, 2026 at the @collegedefrance in Paris

Confirmed speakers include Alexandre Dumont, Jacques Ravel, and Asmaa Tazi.

Mathematical modelling led by @tsukushi_kamiya reveals the role of #nutrients in the stability of the vaginal #microbiota in a way that is consistent with #genomics and #metabolomics data shared by Jacques Ravel. This is one of the rare #models on this understudied #microbiome.

🙏 Thanks to the #FRM for funding Tsukushi's post-doctoral fellowship and to @PeerCommunityIn for the #open peer-review process ( @PLOSBiology editors did not require any additional review!).

Congrats to Vincent Garot for his first PhD #preprint on #machinelearning in #phylodynamics (supported by #dim1health, cosupervised by @alizon @laurentjacob and Anna Zhukova ).

His #TEDDY software package can learn epidemiological parameters, e.g. #R0 or infection duration, directly from multiple sequence alignments of #virus genomic data thanks to simulation-based #inference.

No need to for a #phylogeny, which opens many perspectives for the field!
