Pleased to see my team’s work on the biopolymer application in this preprint. More to follow soon! 🧵

In conclusion, our hydrogel-based spatiotemporal control strategy of physicochemical biocontainment reduces a critical barrier to deploying #ELMs/#MALMs doi.org/10.26434/chemr… @ChemRxiv

How about the metabolic activity in #ELMs? We found ~40% increase in fermentation in MAA-containing #MALMs Cell retention and metabolic increases are significant for such applications as releasing drug molecules over time using living therapeutics materials or bioreactors

Excited to share our @ChemRxiv preprint on metabolically active living materials #MALMs with physicochemical biocontainment🧵

Finally, I’m grateful to my research team for tireless efforts, reviewers and the editor for valuable feedback, and funders for this research and publication! h/t @TallinnTech /@researchestonia

Pleased to share our latest #AEM publication in @AppEnvMicro showing that #yeast Rhodotorula toruloides can produce exopolysaccharide #biopolymer (h/t @ASMicrobiology). A brief thread🧵

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt “for having explained innovation-driven economic growth” with one half to Mokyr “for having identified the prerequisites for sustained growth through technological progress” and the other half jointly to Aghion and Howitt “for the theory of sustained growth through creative destruction.” #NobelPrize

Technology advances rapidly and affects us all, with new products and production methods replacing old ones in a never-ending cycle. This is the basis for sustained economic growth, which results in a better standard of living, health and quality of life for people around the globe. #NobelPrize

Breaking news: The 2025 #NobelPeacePrize is awarded to María Corina Machado🕊️ Congratulations!
