A MUST READ!!! This was signed by more than 250 docs, including me, — all of whom agree the recent @thelancetgroup series’ claim that #menopause is 'over-medicalized' is flat our wrong and damaging to progress in women's health. @drmaryclaire @ms_magazine #outoftouchonmenopause

Looking forward to it!

Some of the nice memories made during the first #microbes for #womenshealth meeting in Copenhagen. Hope this will become a recurrent meeting so that we can jointly advance field Isala Jean Macklaim Melissa M. Herbst-Kralovetz, PhD David MacIntyre jacquesravel Ina Schuppe Koistinen …

Up first, Sarah Ahannach who started the Isala project in her PhD, presented her more recent work of an Isala daughter project GeneDoe. She looks at microbial and seminal traces of sexual intercourse in the vagina and underwear! #sexualassault

Monica Ticlla couldn't join in person, but we happily presented her poster on VTOOL, a tool to increase representation in low- & middle-income countries in vaginal microbiome research. Monica is involved in our Laura in Peru and the themarieproject_ch in Switzerland 💪.

Isala teammember Leonore Vander Donck presented the female intimate microbiome, where we studied the microbiome of the groin skin, the skin around the breasts and skin around the mouth. Surprisingly, we found typical vaginal lactobacilli on the breasts! #intimacy #skinmicrobiome

Sandra Condori is our Isala post-doc in charge of our #isalasisterhood projects! She presented data on the sisterhood project in Peru, Laura ! How to improve representation in vaginal microbiome research 💪

Maline is a first-year PhD student at the Isala project. She presented her poster showing the study plan of our soon launching #Devenir study on #vulvovaginalcandidiasis where we are looking for new biomarkers and therapies!
