🧪New publication! Our latest study shows that kaolin clay enhances light scattering and boosts acetate yields by 45% in R. palustris cultures. A powerful route to optimize phototrophic bioprocesses. ☀️ 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.btre…

Our research with @ontariogenomics on transforming potato waste into bio-nylon was featured in the French docuseries L’histoire sans faim ('History Without Hunger') 🇫🇷🍟➡️👕 Check out the episode! tfo.org/regarder/la-pa…

LMSE at #ICLR2025 Our contribution on integrating multi-scale representations in genome-scale models was featured as a Spotlight Presentation at the @lmrl_bio Workshop! We look forward to continue collaborating on models that represent the complexity of systems biology🧬

📢Submit your nominations! The 2024 Young Innovator Award is now open. This award honors the contributions of a young scientist who has made a major impact on synthetic biology and/or related fields. Learn more and submit yourself or a colleague today: go.acs.org/74b

Opens new avenues in #Bioremediation to mitigate complex groundwater contamination. Congrats to @oliviabulka, Jennifer W, Sandra D, and the team!!! 🎉

🌍🔬 NEW PAPER with the @ElizabethEdwar8 Lab: A mixed culture led by Dehalobacter restrictus and other bacteria, capable of simultaneously breaking down chloroform & dichloromethane. The culture was impressively sustained for 1400+ days!!! doi.org/10.1021/acs.es…

🚀New insights in #GenerativeAI for enzyme design toward #RenewableEnergy. Our paper tackles AI challenges in protein engineering, emphasizing data quality and robust model testing. Congrats to @rana_barghout & the team! [authors.elsevier.com/c/1i1a~3PtAV5B…] #SynBio #MetabolicEngineering

Chester Pham from our lab won the Trends in Biotechnology Poster Award at #ME15 in Singapore for his poster on TF biosensors. Apparently there were ~400 posters so Congratulations Chester !
