Exploring the Microbiome with Université de Liége: Insights into Biodiversity and Disease

In today's interview, we speak with Pauline Van Leeuwen, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Liège, about her work on microbiome profiling within BCOMING. Pauline’s research focuses on understanding how microbial communities in wildlife, particularly bats and rodents, influence disease emergence. She shares insights into her analysis of microbiome diversity, the significance of studying Rhinolophus bats, and the potential implications of her findings for biodiversity, public health, and environmental policies. Join us as we explore the critical role of microbiomes in shaping disease dynamics.

In Guinea, a country with rich biodiversity and frequent human-wildlife interactions, understanding zoonotic disease emergence is crucial for pandemic preparedness. BCOMING has been actively involved in disease surveillance, and Dr. Djiba KABA from the Centre de Recherche et de Formation en Infectiologie de Guinée (CERFIG) has played a crucial role in coordinating these efforts. In this interview, he shares insights into fieldwork, community engagement, and scientific advancements in zoonotic disease research.

Lors de notre dernier entretien avec le professeur Rodolphe (Rudy) Gozlan, directeur de recherche et professeur en écologie de la conservation à l'Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD), celui-ci a partagé avec nous des informations fascinantes sur le travail de l'IRD dans le cadre du projet BCOMING. La conversation s'est concentrée sur la manière dont le travail de l'IRD aide à identifier les liens entre la biodiversité et le risque de maladie, avec un accent particulier sur le Cambodge, ainsi que sur d'autres régions telles que la Guinée, la Côte d'Ivoire et la Guadeloupe.
