#PhD projects funded by EU MSCA CoFUND at Turun yliopisto - University of Turku are still open. Join us Photosynthetic Microbes for 3 projects on photosynthetic H2 production (#26), developing photosynthetic factories for ammonia production (#25), and enhancing crop photosynthesis (#27). sites.utu.fi/utugredit/rese…

Doctoral researcher's position in my new project at Turun yliopisto - University of Turku is now open! Apply here to do a #PhD studying the role of the proton motive force in regulation of #photosynthesis in #cyanobacteria: ats.talentadore.com/apply/vaitoski… #phdpositions

Another great visit from Kerttulin ICT-lukio in our labs. Two groups of students got to immobilise #cyanobacteria in alginate and observe #photosynthesis and #respiration with a pH indicator, and measure the Fv/Fm parameter of #Arabidopsis plants. Happy to welcome you again! #Science

Say hi to Iida-Maria, one of our newest PhD researchers! She has a MSc in Biology from University of Oulu and joins us to study the plant growth-promoting and anti-fungal effects of #microalgae extracts. When not in the lab, you can find her in the CrossFit gym 💪 #PhDlife #PhDchat

Great talks at the Biofoundries for Bioeconomy at #ChemBioFinland2024 by Yagut Allahverdiyeva-Rinne and Tóth Gábor Szilveszter. Great opportunity for networking and keeping up to date with state-of-the-art technologies.

Join us in Turku for an exciting symposium to meet renowned #photosynthesis researchers from around the world. Seats are limited & many participants have already registered. Don't miss your chance to celebrate amazing science with us! Photosynthetic Microbes Turun yliopisto - University of Turku

Today, we had an opening event for our AlgaTech facilities in Ruissalo Botanical Garden. Opening words by Yagut Allahverdiyeva-Rinne and projects introduction by semasirin. Thanks for the great organisation and good time spent networking with collaborators and colleagues. #algae REALM algae

Students from #TSYK high school visited us in April to learn about #photosynthesis, #microalgae and our #research. With the help of Iia, Tuomas and Laura they got hands-on experience with microalgae immobilisation and photoinhibition fluorescence measurements. #outreach #science

Job alert!📢 We're looking for a motivated doctoral researcher with a background in data-driven systems and artificial intelligence to join Photosynthetic Microbes and develop AI-assisted photosynthetic devices for solar fuel and chemical production.

Meet Pulmu, who is a co-supervised PhD student in the Photo-e-mat project founded by Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland . She mainly works in the Materials chemistry research group - UTU to study #sustainable anode materials for #biophotovoltaic applications. With us, she's learning more about #photosynthesis and #cyanobacteria.

NEXT WEEK THURSDAY Frontiers of Science seminar by Shelley Minteer Minteer Lab from the University of Utah. She will tell us about enzymes as electrocatalysts in BioCity Presidentti auditorium at 12:00 ☕️+🥪at 11:45, welcome everyone!

Excellent representation by our Doctoral researchers at the Nordic #Algae Symposium in Copenhagen 🇩🇰 Great opportunity to network and share their exciting research with the community 🦠 #phdlife #phdlife

Microalgae can grow in greenhouse drain water. We're testing this concept also in Finland under the climatic and light conditions of Northern Europe. We installed a fully operational facility to validate the REALM concept at pilot scale: 1 m3. #BlueBioeconomy

Many chemicals can be sustainably synthesised by microorganisms such as cyanobacteria and microalgae. A new dissertation highlights the versatility of photosynthetic microorganisms for applications in different solid-state chemical production systems. utu.fi/en/news/events…

Yesterday, we enjoyed the summer day of the Faculty of Technology Turun yliopisto - University of Turku. Great day filled with tasty food, good company, and sunshine. ☀️
