Bicistronic expression of nuclear transgenes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii - goo.gl/scholar/FN9VUK #ScholarAlerts

Its my 3rdr with Pint of Science IE and the journey's been lovely. Its such a collaborative team and I've learned loads from the talented and passionate folks I've met along the way. Our team has an amazing #pint24 festival brewing. Can't wait for you all to see what's in store!

👀 Have you ever seen with your own eyes chlorophyll fluorescence ? 🌱♨️

Perspectives on improving photosynthesis to increase crop yield academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

Our work has been published, detailing our investigation into the role of LHCSR3 expression under osmotic stress in Chlamydomonas. To our surprise, we found that the LHCSR3 expression does not induce qE. Here is the article that shows how it might work. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Quite often we get invitations from questionable journals. However, this invitation sounds like a music to my ear:

If you enjoyed our latest articles 👀 in The Plant Cell, Plant Physiology, New Phytologist and other journals using MIMS to study the energetics of CO2 fixation 🦠🌱, there is still time to apply for joining us to run this powerful machine👇 jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/senior-re… Carnegie Science

This new review paper from Chris Voigt's lab is a must-read for #synbio researchers and investors. His keynote at #SEED2024 contained a lot of the case studies and thinking in this paper.

The new Stanford ENERGY fellowship has been announced! Contact me if you're interested in energy sustainability, microalgae, and photosynthesis. Member of our lab Liat Adler has recently joined the 2024 cohort of fellows 👀 energypostdoc.stanford.edu

We have an opening in my lab for a postdoc with expertise in algal/seaweed biotechnology, in particular, metabolic engineering and carbohydrate biochemistry, with some bioinformatics training. Email me at [email protected], if this fits your background and aspirations

Come and join our group for a 2-years position in the field of synthetic biology and biotechnology. Our group, Biochemical Engineering, at PLEN, University of Copenhagen (ku.dk) is led by Sotirios Kampranis. The deadline for applying is: 31 of August, so hurry up😉

New Letter: "Rubisco supplies pyruvate for the 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol-4-phosphate pathway" rdcu.be/dVZMj Rubisco fixes CO2. Its lesser-known side job is supplying pyruvate in the chloroplast, an observation that solves a long-standing paradox of central metabolism.
