Our work on the anti-phage defensome of complex microbial communities was selected for oral communication at the Microbiology Society Annual Conference .

My recent talk for the Teach me in 10 video series from Technology Networks focusing on Microbial Epigenomics is now online .

My recent talk at SMRT Leiden on Epigenomics in the Era of Third Generation Sequencing is now online .

This month we published our paper on conserved DNA methyltransferases in Bacteria in Trends in Microbiology . This work proposes strategies in which these MTases can be prioritized to enable a community-wide, integrative approach for functional epigenomic studies. Also, we discuss how some highly conserved DNA MTases may emerge as promising targets for the development of novel epigenetic inhibitors for biomedical applications.

Our recent publication on Clostridioides difficile epigenomics has been receiving media attention. Some examples include GenomeWeb , EurekAlert , Technology Networks , PacBio , Pblico .

Pedro H Oliveira was interviewed for the National News channel RTP1 regarding his work on Clostridioides difficile epigenomics.

This month we published our work on Clostridioides difficile epigenomics in Nature Microbiology . This was the end product of a great collaboration between Mount Sinai School of Medicine, University of North Carolina, Tufts University, and New England Biolabs. Congratulations to all of the authors!
