It’s a great pleasure to see the tRNA neochromosome finally reaching the light of day at @CellCellPress! I’m sharing co-first authorship with @DSchindler_PDR, with @caiyizhi at the helm and under the guidance of @JefBoeke. Find the article here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Out now from @Alicia_MV_ ! We consolidated a >600 Dutch yeast and characterised their activity against spoilage yeasts and relevant human and plant pathogens, focusing on yeasts that secrete antifungal proteins. Great resource for biocontrol and beyond. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39875071/

Some more professional news: London calling! After five wonderful years @univgroningen, my lab is joining the @ImperialBioeng @imperialcollege. Since I started my PhD, I perceived London as one of THE global SynBio hubs, and I could not be more excited to join in!

Bitter-sweet result. Our paper is out in Nature, but sometimes you're forced to hide your affiliation to make it happen. Viruses encode tRNAs to circumvent tRNA-targeting immune systems, like PARIS. Thanks to @dbikard, @WiedenheftLab and the teams. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congrats @billerbeck_s and @_rprins!!

Sonja Billerbeck@billerbeck_s

Finally in print!🥳🥳! @_rprins was curious how #KillerYeast protect themselves from self-intoxication. For the ionophore toxin #K2, she found that its immunity is encoded within its secretion signal peptide. doi.org/10.1016/j.celr… @CellReports @ResearchGbb @univgroningen

Meet MagLOV: an engineered protein that responds STRONGLY to magnetic fields. This is a fluorescence timelapse of MagLOV in E. coli. We're waving a (small) magnet under the plate. Can you tell where the magnet is? Want some? It's on Addgene now! addgene.org/219957/

Some fantastic talks from @iloughland (@allgfoods ) and @JeroenBrsma (@itsjustvow ) at our SBA Sydney Node event! We caught a glimpse into the future of technology and food (and consumed a huge quantity of pizza in the process...)
