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. @soniamec 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_muel Wageningen U&R frontiersin.org/journals/bioen…

This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans. Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals,

🧬 SynBioNL Event 2025 🌷 Out of the Ordinary – Thinking Outside the SynBio Toolbox It’s time! 🚀 This year, push the boundaries of synthetic biology and explore the unconventional. 🤖🪐🦄 Register👉 lnkd.in/dAQbk_DV 📍 Utrecht | Marinus Ruppertgebouw 📆 May 2, 2025

Don't miss out on the interactive session with artists, policy makers and philosophers. We discuss news on successful extraordinary advances on SynBio #synbionl2025

We are excited to share another #MegabaseSpark submission, from Christos Batianis: "We wire cell growth to enzyme function: if the enzyme fires, the cell thrives. Thousands of variants turn growth into activity data that train LLM models to design better proteins. Synthesised
