Chronic inflammation doesn't just affect you! It's actively steering the evolution of your gut microbiome. Phages and gene transfer between bacteria may play a much bigger role in IBD than we previously appreciated.
None of this would have been possible without an amazing team. Huge thank you to all co-authors & lab colleagues who contributed to this work. Shoutout to @isabelgordo.bsky.social, and also Nelson Frazão and Elsa Seixas, who started this endeavour and laid the foundation for everything you just read
