Delighted to share good news after a long embargo! We'll be part of C-Loop an EPSRC Bio-manufacturing Hub focusing on making value out of waste!! Looking forward to this project led by Stephen Wallace at Edinburgh #circulareconomy @imperiallifesci.bsky.social www.ukri.org/news/new-res...
New research hubs to cut carbon and reshape UK manufacturing
From green steel and recycled plastics to turning waste into new materials and using AI to boost productivity, four hubs will tackle UK manufacturing challenges.

Spoiler alert:
In a few days we will announce around 30 PhD positions for the Cluster of Excellence Circular Bioengineering, one of them in my lab at @bokuvienna.bsky.social on synthetic single carbon pathways in yeast. Stay tuned!
