Focus on human microbiome to fight liver cirrhosis
22 European institutions join forces in MICROB-PREDICT to improve the prevention and treatment of chronic liver disease (cirrhosis). We aim to identify microbiome-based biomarkers and mechanisms that predict in advance when the body can no longer compensate for the dysfunctional liver (decompensated cirrhosis), when such decompensated cirrhosis will progress to acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and a patient’s individual treatment response. Based on such biomarkers, we strive to develop novel diagnostic tools for earlier and better patient stratification and to establish personalised and effective treatment strategies.

Saeed Shoaie (KCL), Benjamin Lelouvier (Vaiomer), Jonel Trebicka (EFCLIF / UKM), Peer Bork (EMBL) and Lindsey Edwards (KCL) present details on the prediction power of MICROB-PREDICT for late-stage liver disease at the IHMC Congress in Rome. “Microbiome can predict outcome and decompensation in liver cirrhosis.” explained Peer Bork. Benjamin Lelouver emphasized that results from MICROB-PREDICT stem from “the likely the most comprehensively microbiome-characterized cohort to date, MUCOSA-PREDICT”. Coordinator Jonel Trebicka is happy about the well-attended MICROB-PREDICT session plus posters of our fellows Peter Treit (MPI) and Marisa Metzger (EMBL).

It was a firework of MICROB-PREDICT results and discussions at this year's EASL Congress in fashionable Milan, Italy, from 5-8 June. Project sessions included the extremely well-attended Networking Session at the Cirrhosis & Complications Track Hub on Wednesday, 5 June, the Investigator Meeting and the high-quality Poster Tour on Thursday, 6 June, the Innovations Meeting with industry stakeholders plus the Patient Event on Friday, 7 June, and a privately organised dinner for our ALB-Trial investigators as gratitude for their fantastic work. Thank you, EASL, for the great organisation and to everyone who presented new outcomes to the hepatology community!

Focus on human microbiome to fight liver cirrhosis: 22 European institutions joined forces in January 2019 to improve the prevention and treatment of chronic liver disease (cirrhosis) within the MICROB-PREDICT project. We aim to identify microbiome-based biomarkers and mechanisms that predict in advance when the body can no longer compensate for the dysfunctional liver (decompensated cirrhosis) and decompensated cirrhosis progresses to acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and individual treatment responses of patients. Coordinator Jonel Trebicka gives a brief overview of the project in this video.
