Our BIOMANUFACTURING AND DIGITAL TWINS group gathered together yesterday for a Christmas dinner 🎄 to celebrate a year full of personal and team growth and successes. 💪 DELIGHTED to work with this crew, who shares my professional values and loves our science as much as I do. 🧬

It has been two intense days at the meeting of the BIOSENSEI project founded by Horizon Europe🇪🇺 at Tyndall Institute. Thanks, Alan and Gerry for the organization!! We have exciting work ahead of us.

Kicking off #BioSensei in Cork! 🇪🇺🇮🇪 Very happy to start our new multidisciplinary Horizon Europe🇪🇺 project combining synthetic biology, surface chemistry, nanoelectronics, regulatory & industrial sampling and AI for biological detection of environmental pollutants 🧪🛜 Sonia (she/her) 🇮🇹

Amazing work from our friends of Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR ! Congratulations to all the authors! Very much looking forward to the applications resulting from their findings on proteolytic activities upon target RNA detection through type III-B CRISPR-Cas signaling.

Our newsletter is out! 🚀 WINTER EDITION 🌐Recap on SynBioNL activities 🔬Research output 📊SynBio facts about research in the NL 🗓️ Upcoming events (including ours, save the date, 14th June!) and more! Have a sneak peek and subscribe! mailchi.mp/21a4e772f38e/s…

Today is the day! Are you ready for our meeting BUILDING CONNECTIONS in Wageningen!? Looking forward to seeing you all there :D #SynBioNL24 #SBNL2024 #BuildingConnections

Lovely venue for our BioSENSEI Horizon Europe🇪🇺 project meeting in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Inspired by observatories of old, which gazed at the vastness of the sky, we develop #biosensors to observe the content and harmony of our ecosystems. Sonia (she/her) 🇮🇹 Vítor Martins dos Santos

Check this out: a gold mine for bioproduction of aromatics! 💥 Proud of the team and my boys Lyon Bruinsma and Christos Batianis. A master piece is coming!

My favourite discovery ever has just come online. Can I please tell you about some seriously wacky molecular biology? The story starts with a reverse transcriptase that SOMEHOW defends bacteria from viruses. (👇 I recommend sound ON for the video 🎹) 1/

We're starting the day at #Pseudomonas2024 with the 'Harnessing the Power of Pseudomonas: Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering' session. Join us for talks about the genus potential for the production of chemicals, biopolymers, and enzymes - microb.io/49478lR

This week, we published GenoMine, a CRISPR-Cas9-based kill switch for Pseudomonas putida that employs repetitive genomic elements as cleavage targets to unleash a highly genotoxic response. 💣🧬 Maria Martin-Pascual Vítor Martins dos Santos Alexandra E.
