Congratulations to Dr. Vanessa DeClercq, Dr. Robyn Wright, Dr. Jacob Nearing, and Dr. Morgan Langille on their latest publication, “Oral Microbial Signatures Associated with Age and Frailty in Canadian Adults” (Scientific Reports, 14). This research from the Langille Lab used biological samples and data from Atlantic PATH. It examined the association between the oral microbiome, age and frailty and found that “age and frailty are differentially associated with measures of microbial diversity and composition, suggesting the oral microbiome may be a useful indicator of increased risk of frailty or a potential target for improving health in ageing adults.” Read more about this research: https://bit.ly/3Qx2vKe

Congratulations to our colleague, Dr. Rafaela Andrade, co-founder and CEO of Halifax-based company Myomar Molecular on their Mitacs Outstanding Entrepreneur Award!! Dr. Andrade has used Atlantic PATH data and biosamples in their project, Clinical Study and Identification of Muscle Atrophy Biomarkers. Dr. Andrade and Myomar Molecular’s work have developed the world’s first urine strip test for measuring muscle loss. Ultimately, this work will allow for early monitoring of indicators of muscle loss and early interventions and improved quality of life.
