Celebrating Breakthroughs in Gut Microbiome

Young Scientists Shine at 5th Annual NOSTER & Science Microbiome Prize Ceremony

Noster Inc. proudly hosted the 5th NOSTER & Science Microbiome Prize Symposium and Awards Ceremony in partnership with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), publishers of the renowned Science journal. The events, held on October 10 and 11, 2024, highlighted the achievements of emerging leaders in microbiome research. The Grand Prize was awarded to Kazuki Nagashima of Stanford University, while Lina Yao and Brittany Needham were the finalists.

On October 10, the Symposium at NOSTER’s Kyoto headquarters featured this year’s winners, who shared insights on their pioneering discoveries related to the gut microbiome and its impact on health. Topics covered included the intricate interactions between gut bacteria, host organisms, and immune cells, as well as the potential of microbiome-based therapies.

The Ceremony on October 11, held at the Park Hyatt Kyoto, was attended by NOSTER CEO Kohey Kitao, Science Publisher Bill Moran, Science Senior Editor Caroline Ash, and leading researchers from Japan. This year’s selection panel chose Kazuki Nagashima as the Grand Prize winner for his groundbreaking research on the effects of gut bacteria on T cells.

Pioneering Discoveries in Microbiome Research

Recent advances in microbiome research have unveiled significant links between gut bacteria and various diseases such as cancer, immune disorders, and gastrointestinal issues. The expanding field of metabolomics is shedding light on how microbial metabolites may influence disease mechanisms. Ongoing research is expected to lead to novel therapies that target the gut microbiome. NOSTER is committed to supporting young scientists and fostering transformative breakthroughs in this field through the NOSTER & Science Microbiome Prize.

Research Highlights of the 2024 Awardees

Kazuki Nagashima, winner of the Grand Prize, developed a method to identify the effects of gut bacteria on T cells, earning the 2024 NOSTER & Science Microbiome Prize Grand Prize. His work overturned previous theories by demonstrating that T cells, a type of immune cell, can recognize and respond to multiple types of bacteria.

Finalist Lina Yao, conducted research aiming to develop new treatments for inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune disorders by investigating the effects of bile acids produced by gut bacteria on immune cells.

Finalist Brittany Needham, discovered that a substance called 4EPS produced by gut bacteria is present in high levels in the plasma of children with autism spectrum disorder. Her research focuses on how gut bacterial metabolites affect brain function by targeting the gut-brain axis.

About the NOSTER & Science Microbiome Prize

Applications for the 2025 NOSTER & Science Microbiome Prize are open from October 15, 2024, to February 14, 2025. The prize is open to researchers who have earned an M.D., Ph.D., or M.D./Ph.D. within the past 10 years.

Overview 

It was not that long ago that the bacteria living on and inside us—our microbiota—was seen as a predominantly opportunistic collection of microbes that had simply found a convenient environmental niche in which to live. We understood that our gut microbes played a critical part in the digestive process, but what has come to light only more recently is just how deeply and broadly our health and wellness is enmeshed with those trillions of microbes we carry around with us. One area of particularly intensive study is the impact of metabolites released by the gut microbiota on neurological health and disease. An increasing body of evidence points to the importance of the gut–microbiota–brain axis in certain neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) as well as psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety. In this webinar, our experts will describe their research into the dynamic connection between the gut and the brain, sharing important new insights that have emerged from this burgeoning field of study. During the webinar, the speakers will:

Outline the fundamentals of the microbiota–gut–brain axis

Explain how gut bacteria can modulate neuroactive compounds that travel to the central nervous system and impact neural cell health

Describe potential therapeutic pathways in the microbiota–gut–brain axis that may be targeted in neurological and psychiatric disorders

Answer your questions live during the broadcast.

This webinar will last for approximately 60 minutes.

Advanced non-targeted lipidomics to elucidate the complex lipid diversity of intestinal flora

Makoto Arita, a professor at Keio University and the Team Leader of the Laboratory for Metabolomics at RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences, and colleagues report on the comprehensive analysis of complex lipid metabolites produced by gut microorganisms. They developed new lipidomics technology by combining non-targeted mass spectrometry, which enables comprehensive analysis in an unbiased fashion, and feature-based molecular spectrum networking, which supports structural estimation of unknown molecules.

Employing a protocol consisting of mice treated with antibiotics, Professor Arita and his team successfully identified 985 lipid structures in feces of which approx. 24.8% appeared to be dependent on gut microbiota as judged by > 10-fold decrease in antibiotic-treated mice. Furthermore, they identified unique lipid structures directly related to gut microbiota including acyl alpha-hydroxyl fatty acid (AAHFA). Importantly, this research successfully predicted the bacterial species responsible for producing AAHFA and other unique lipids.

The results of this research are expected to contribute to the elucidation of complex lipid metabolism networks formed by the interaction between the gut microorganisms and hosts, and the discovery of new functional metabolites involved in host homeostasis and the onset of diseases.

Details 

https://www.sciencemag.org/custom-publishing/webinars/what-our-microbiomes-can-and-must-teach-us-about-our-health-and-disease

Overview 

Human postnatal development is typically viewed from the perspective of our “human” organs. But perhaps we are missing part of the picture? The symbiotic relationships with the microorganisms that inhabit our gastrointestinal tract and skin can impact our healthy growth, resistance to disease, and response to infection. Evidence is accumulating that a shift in the normal development of the gut microbiome is causally related to childhood undernutrition, a devastating global health problem with long-term effects. Perturbing the microbiota may also impact the development and health of our immune system and its response to both colonization by commensal microbes and attack by pathogens. In this webinar, we’ll explore the increasingly appreciated role of the microbiome in human health and wellness. During the webinar, our expert speakers will:

Outline how a deepening understanding of the microbiome has advanced our appreciation of its role in human development and general health

Describe how research into links between the microbiome and childhood undernutrition can inform more effective clinical treatments

Explore how the immune response to the gut community impacts the body’s response to pathogenic microbes

Answer your questions during the live event.
