📢Out today! Our work discovering that bioenergetic 🔋homeostasis in dynamic environments is periodicity-dependent ☀️🌥️🌤️⛅️🌦️☀️⛅️ We show that maintaining a healthy photosynthetic cell 💚requires mechanisms with diverse bandwidths of importance 👀 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cool to see today the work of Liat Adler featured at the Stanford ENERGY symposium 👀 💚🦠 Carnegie Science

It was a lot of fun to have Daniela Strenkert from MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory visit us and present her research on Ferredoxins last week 🥰 Carnegie Science

🎉🥳 Celebrating our publication revealing proteins bandwidths of importance with a Chlamy crêpe party 🥞 Carnegie Science Stanford ENERGY Publication here👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The green algae CO2 concentrating mechanism and photorespiration jointly operate during acclimation to low CO2 nature.com/articles/s4146… Nature Communications

Glad 🤗to see this great work led by DAO Ousmane where we dissect the role of LCI20 in dynamic CO2 regimes 🌱🦠 we reveal a key piece in the energetic and carbon interconnection between photochemical reactions, the CCM, and photorespiration ♾👇Carnegie Science Stanford ENERGY

We've found the long-sought 'off-switch' for the algal CO₂-concentrating mechanism (CCM)! It’s a new repressor protein that directly binds to the CCM's 'accelerator'—the master activator CCM1/CIA5—and is essential for cellular energy saving. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Large-scale experiments are always more fun to do together 👀 🙃 Looking forward to reveal our large-scale genome-phenome datasets on how photosynthetic cells maintain a healthy and productive bioenergetics balance ☀️🌤️

🚨 We’re hiring! The Burlacot Lab Carnegie Science is recruiting a Postdoc to study how photosynthetic electron flows power CO₂ fixation in algae 🌱🧫 Cutting-edge microscopy + biophysics + sustainability 🚀 Apply: apply.interfolio.com/171656

Silly artwork alert 🚨from our favorite model organisms 🫣🙃 (work of Phaeodactylum photosynthesis in dynamic light to be released very soon btw 👀)

Come join our lab for a super exciting project!

We are excited to announce Federica Brandizzi as the next director of the MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory! Brandizzi's lab has contributed many important pieces to the canon of plant research in organelle biology, biofuel research and space biology. natsci.msu.edu/news/2025/2025…

Part of the lab was at York last week for the CCM11 conference! Amazing science, wonderful people as always 🥰

Glad to see the recognition of Vincent Boudreau 's amazing work 🥳🥳🥳 and to have taken part in the journey ☺️ ascb.org/society-news/a…

So glad to have given a course on photosynthesis ☀️ last week at the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, it's very humbling to see such a historical place for marine biology 👀🐠🐟🦠

Excited to have been invited to the Annual Symposium of the Botanical Society of Japan 👀🦠🌱🌾🌿

I'm blown away by the designs of 植物顕微鏡写真(趣味) he recently developed for photosynthesis 👀😱🤯 The electron even moves in the photosynthetic electron transport chain! 👀
