Young Investigator @TU_Muenchen curious about the intestinal microbiota, mucus and colorectal cancer. Travel lover, dog lover, rum lover, proud mum and wife.
- It‘s been a pleasure to host @mucubacter.bsky.social as a guest speaker for the CRC1371 #microbiomesignatures here at #TUM. Fantastic talk on #microbiome #diet #antibiotic and #mucus projects, and great exchanges! Thank you for your visit Björn! #mucusmatters
- Reposted by Olivia ColemanRESEARCH | @ocoleman.bsky.social , Sorbie, Haller et al. (TUM) ATF6 causes an enrichment in long-chain fatty acids in the colon, which contributes to the development of colorectal cancer🧪
- I recently had the pleasure of a short stay at the University of Gothenburg, hosted by Elisabeth Nyström. Many thanks to Liz and everyone in the Mucin Biology groups for the warm welcome and stimulating scientific exchange. Looking forward to continuing our collaboration! #mucusmatters

- For an extra read on our new publication in #naturemetabolism, read my Blog Post: Unravelling how the stress sensor ATF6 stirs up trouble (and tumors) communities.springernature.com/posts/unrave... #lifesciences #colorectalcancer #microbiota #erstress #metabolism
- Very happy to share our latest publication unravelling how the #ERstress sensor ATF6 stirs up trouble (and tumors) in #colorectalcancer. ATF6 drives CRC by reshaping lipid #metabolism and the intestinal #microbiota. A huge thank you to all co-authors! #lifesciences www.nature.com/articles/s42...
- Reposted by Olivia Coleman🚀 What’s it like to launch a new lab? Hans-Georg Sprenger shares challenges, early wins & the joy of mentoring in molecular metabolism research. @mpiage.bsky.social Read the interview: febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #ScienceCareers #Mentoring #ResearchLife
- Road trip starts tomorrow. Journal proofs still MIA. Guess the laptop’s coming after all… #academiclife #firstauthorpriviliges

- Reposted by Olivia ColemanThis was a labor of love requiring lots of teamwork over years, repeating in 3 locations! Thanks to all the lab over the years, giving their time generously to this team project, & our wonderful collaborators. The source of fat matters for anti-tumor immunity 🐄🐖🧈🌴🫒🥥 www.nature.com/articles/s42...
- This isn't the crispest image, unfortunately, but getting my mouse intestinal organoid to take on the shape of a mouse (nibbling on a chow pellet?) is my achievement of the week 🤩 p.s. @gobletcellguy.bsky.social: this is the mCherry Muc2...the signal is definitely there 🤜
- Happy to share our latest paper showing that intestinal inflammation (IL10-/-) + an UPRER diva protein (ATF6) = a perfect storm for colon cancer: Susceptibility to inflammatory bowel diseases promotes invasive carcinomas in a murine model of ATF6-driven colon cancer. academic.oup.com/ecco-jcc/art...
- Reposted by Olivia ColemanThe 5th Ghent Gut Inflammation Group Meeting #GGIG2025 is live! 🚨 Hosted by Ghent University & VIB, this 2-day event spotlights junior scientists in gut research. Great start with Jochem Bernink of @amsterdamumc.bsky.social on immune-mediated regeneration in the gut! More info: vibbio.tech/GGIG2025
- Reposted by Olivia ColemanHappy to see this finally published 🙌 Thanks to the editors and reviewers for the constructive process 😎
- The colonic mucus barrier & sentinel goblet cells protect the distal gut from microbial challenges. Johansson, @gobletcellguy.bsky.social et al show that microbial colonization drives sequential development of both of these barrier mechanisms in the pre-weaning intestine. rupress.org/jem/article/...
