🎉A big congratulations to Emilio on successfully defending his PhD!!!! 🎓 His innovative work on transport systems in E. coli is a testament to hard work and dedication. 👏 D-BSSE, ETH Zurich

And another one! 🥳🎓 Martin did an excellent job defending his PhD yesterday. His unconventional work manipulating traditional genetic decoders reflects his diligence and drive for success. Congratulations! D-BSSE, ETH Zurich

I have 2 postdoc positions open for people to come work in our lab in sunny London🧑‍🔬 Got goods skills in using synthetic biology and microbiology to make materials? Consider joining us on. Pls RT 🔁 jobs.ac.uk/job/DGV362/res…

We have a PhD position opening for a candidate with demonstrated experience in electrochemistry. We are aiming to immobilize various metalloenzymes for small molecule activation. See for example: pubs.acs.org/doi/ful

ML and automation can take protein engineering to a whole new level. In a really exciting collaboration, we have explored new strategies to navigate large sequence-activity landscapes in an efficient yet thorough manner. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Do you really need to spread plasmid libraries on mountains of plates to get uniform growth, or can you just dump them in a flask and call it a day? We make huge plasmid libraries in the de Boer Lab, so we tested whether culture method really matters. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Want to import non-natural molecules in to E.coli? Then check out our new publication from E. Rodríguez Robles and team. Elsevier | ScienceDirect sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Trisolarans and their sophons have been at it again… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Find out more about our system for importing non-natural molecules into E.coli. Here we tailor the substrate profile of the cargo release step. Congratulations David and team! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… ACS Synthetic Bio E. Rodríguez Robles

Excited about Synthetic Biology? Interested in Lab Automation or Computer-aided Drug Design? Check out these 2 job postings! jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/9159 jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/9158

Check out our latest study, in which we evolved E. coli to use a non-canonical D-arm-less tRNA using a novel vitamin-based selection system. This revealed a surprising flexibility in the bacterial translation machinery. Good job Martin & team! doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

Ever wonder what happens when you delete tRNAs in E. coli? Then check out our paper where we systematically deleted each of the tRNA transcriptional units. nature.com/articles/s4159… Congratulations Sanja! Scientific Reports

If you are new to the field of artificial metalloenzymes or simply want to know where things stand, check out our new primer on the topic Nature Reviews Methods Primers nature.com/articles/s4358…

On November 14th, we had the pleasure of hosting five brilliant and curious young scientists for National Future Day. They even created some art for us using fluorescent bacteria. #Zukunftstag D-BSSE, ETH Zurich

Here's the 3rd paper in our XenoImport series. In this one we explore the passage of molecules through the outer membrane. Congratulations Ivan and team. …icro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17… Microbial Biotechnology (MBT)

Great talk at the NCCR MSE Retreat by Deni about his PhD work. #NCCR_MSE

Congratulations to Matteo and team on creating E. coli factories to produce indigo.🔵🦠 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

We went on a lab retreat to relax, recharge, and apparently to meet a llama. Came back with a fresh perspective and a freshly updated website 👉 bsse.ethz.ch/bpl 👈 D-BSSE, ETH Zurich #Chlotisberg
