Overall, our study presents the first large-scale engineering campaign of FAcDs and introduces an operationally simple selection platform that paves the way toward adapting these enzymes for the sustainable degradation of contaminating organofluorides. (5/5)

Forcing populations of bacteria expressing tens of thousands of distinct FAcD-variants to utilize various organofluorides as sole carbon source, we elicited a panel of FAcD variants with improved activities and drastically altered substrate profiles. (4/5)

With #PFAS and other organofluorides wreaking havoc, we set out to engineer natural defluorinases for man-made organofluorides. All credit goes to the amazing @suzanne__jansen, who has outdone herself in this project! (1/5) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So glad to see this out! By giving a strong fluorescence signal to read out NAD(P)H concentration, SAFRAN will greatly extend the range of reactivities comfortably assayable in droplets. This will make droplet microfluidics a much more versatile tool for biocatalyst engineering!

Two weeks ago, we had a great group outing, including a city tour through Utrecht, a Mario Kart Wii tournament, and some Rock Band Wii fun! I am truly privileged to work with such a group of talented, dedicated, and smart individuals.

Over the past 18 months, we spent A LOT of time planning, discussing, writing, fine-tuning, and WAITING. I had such a blast though and couldn't have wished for a more creative, critical (!), and dedicated team! Thrilled beyond belief that all our efforts paid off!

😍🙌🎉 Witnessing a PhD student become an outstanding scientist is the greatest honor for any supervisor. Last week, the amazing @Titi_a93 defended her PhD thesis in style! Listening to her answering challenging questions on cyclic peptides with ease made me beyond proud!
