Do you want to automate strain design of your streptomycetes strains? Then check out StreptoCAD! Many thanks to @chriiswh, Søren Dalsgård Petersen, @kaiblin, @tilmweber and Rasmus John Normand Frandsen Find the preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

PhDone! Last week I finally got to defend my PhD @DTUBiosustain ! Thank you to @MiKrogh , @ThomasTorring , and @BK_KAIST for evaluating my thesis & the great discussion! Thank you @tilmweber , @TongYaojun, & Tetiana for all your support over the last 3 1/2 years!

REBBLS and the @BioCPH are pleased to annouce our upcoming cross-over event: Enablers in Biotech. Join us to learn how technology can improve #biotech or #pharma discovery and development at this knowledge sharing and #networking event eventbrite.com/e/bii-x-rebbls…

The preprint is out! "UmetaFlow: An untargeted metabolomics workflow for HT data processing& analysis". A huge thank you to the @OpenMSTeam, the @NPGMgroup, and especially to A. Walter, O. Alka, J. Pfeuffer, @Sachsenberg & @OKohlbacher! 🙏🥳 So grateful. doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

If you are interested in • Microbial genome engineering • Massively parallel variant generation & screening • Use of these techs in Metabolic Engineering We - Suzan Yilmaz @NicoC_MicSynBio John van der Oost @geochurch - have a great summary for you: nature.com/articles/s4192…

Great news! 🧪🧬🧫 "The Initiative will accelerate biotechnology innovation and grow America’s bioeconomy across multiple sectors, including a range of industries, including health, agriculture, and energy." forbes.com/sites/johncumb…

Our latest research has just been published today in the journal Nature. We engineered yeast to produce the cancer therapeutic vinblastine. You can find the work here: nature.com/articles/s4158…. It is the longest biosynthetic pathway ever refactored into yeast.

Using a Streptomyces BGC to produce high energy biofuels! 🚀✈️🛳️ Such a cool project! Congrats @PabloCruzMoral1 et al.

Flying to Toronto for #ISBA2022 after a wonderful week in Boston for #CRISPR2022! Thanks again to all organizers for the fantastic conference and for keeping everyone safe (mandatory testing+masking, ventilation, gatherings outside)! Looking forward to #CRISPR2023!

Great first CRISPR technology session at #CRISPR2022! Novel next gen synthetic base editors by @NicoleGaudelli /@BeamTx, recording of transcriptional histories using spacer acquisition by @randall_platt, and finally improved prime editing by @ReganSzalay

Super excited to be in Boston for #CRISPR2022 ! Such a fantastic lineup of speakers!

Check out this new publication! Great to see more groups adapting multiplexed base editing as a new paradigm for engineering of microbial cell factories! Congratulations to all authors! 🧬🦠

1. I am thrilled to share the accepted version of our Cas9 mismatch manuscript, now in @Nature! Here’s a (not-so) brief outline of some of the findings from our original preprint, and some VERY exciting new findings nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our new study is out in @NatureBiotech, demonstrating that #CarbonNegative production of chemicals enabled by #SyntheticBiology is both feasible and scalable. Interdisciplinary effort with @leangching, @jewettlab_NU/@NUSynBio & @ORNL supported by @ENERGY nature.com/articles/s4158…

Happy to share our first paper of 2022, published at @MolecularCell ! With @CicciaAlberto's lab, we review genome editing technologies #CRISPR through the lens of DNA repair #DNARepair. Free link to the paper: authors.elsevier.com/c/1eRzG_OylrkR…

Started my PhD exactly 2 years ago... And so it begins, the stressful and dreaded third year

There is still time to apply for the @cphbiosciphd programme 2022 and do your PhD at one of the four @novonordiskfond #Research Centers. Deadline for application: Jan 17th. Read more here: cphbiosciencephd.org #phd #research #biotechnology #studyabroad #lifescience #education
