Dear reader,
In the first half of 2025, we had another successful consortium meeting. All work packets have started, and most things go according to our planning.
In the news items of this period, we proudly present information about our impact, our progress, and dissemination efforts.
For instance: WP2 & WP3 had a Mini-Hackaton focused on building knowledge graphs for applications in microbiome research during the first 1000 days of life. Magazine Dental Tribune wrote an article about our program. WP1 & WP6 are welcoming students Oral hygiene for the minor MetaHealth. A HvA-mathematics student wrote a very interesting article about ‘in silico modelling’ of the gut.
Enjoy reading!
