The very 1st #Course on #SynBio & #Metabolic #Engineering of #Pseudomonas at Cold Spring Harbor Asia successfully completed in Suzhou, #China! Excellent group of students & lecturers, w/time for culture, food & stand-up paddling alongside the science—thanks to all who participated & stay tuned 4+!

Delighted to join #MetabolicEngineering as Associate Editor w/Sang Yup Lee, Jay Keasling, I. Borodina, C. Maranas & C. Wittmann. I'll handle submissions in #SyntheticMetabolism, #Pseudomonas, #SynBio, new-to-nature #bioproduction & #EnvironmentalBiotechnology!

🚨 Due to popular demand, the deadline to apply for the @cshlnews.bsky.social course Advanced #SynBio & #Metabolic #Engineering of #Pseudomonas is extended to July 22! #PhD students & #postdocs welcome!
📍Suzhou, China
📅 Sept 7–21

Wrapping up a fantastic #ME16 #Copenhagen — a success by all measures! Honored to co-chair the meeting w/I. Borodina, M. Chang, A. Mirończuk, C. Vickers, V. Šťovíček, Y. Zhou, M. Köpke & M. Herrgård & to work w/an outstanding team of colleagues, engaging communities & topics all around the world

Happy to host @kunjapur.bsky.social as a sabbatical #professor at DTU Biosustain, supported by Otto Mønsteds Fond! We share a passion for using #SynBio to engineer #microbes with non-natural building blocks for advanced #biotechology. He’s in #Europe — drop a line to connect & discuss cool #Science!

Congrats to Garret for officially becoming Dr. O'Connell! Garret had his Ph.D. viva on synthetic #fluorochemical #metabolism in #Pseudomonas today. Thanks to @tilmweber.bsky.social r.bsky.social, @pavelcito.bsky.social & Esteban Martinez for their insights🧪🦠 #SynBio @labnikel.bsky.social

Keeping good ol' traditions w/this fantastic bunch @LabNikel @DTUBiosustain, reflecting on this year's achievements & looking forward to future opportunities! Tortellinata & Julefrokost w/current & former members of the team in a snowy 'hyggelig' #Copenhagen

🌈#LGBTQinSTEM Day (November 18th) recognizes the LGBTQ+ community in #science, #technology, #engineering & #mathematics. #Academia is afflicted by inequalities, including #LGBTQ+, that must be addressed for a more inclusive and equitable STEM field for everyone #PrideInSTEM🏳️‍🌈

The #Pseudomonas #Grassroots #Munich has come to an end w/great talks & #science, meeting old friends & making new ones w/a focus on early career #researchers · Seamlessly organized by Carina Meiners & Marleen Beentjes · Next destination: #Leipzig #2024, stay tuned!

Nicolas Gurdo #PhD thesis defense on multi-omic analyses of #Pseudomonas showcased the complex metabolic pathways & regulation in our fav bug. Well done Dr. Gurdo! Thanks Pablo Carbonell, Eriko Takano & Pablo Cruz-Morales for the evaluation & Tilmann Weber for chairing #ProudPI

Alright! This will be my very 1st post in BlueSky, so here it goes! This is the amazing bunch of colleagues that I have the honor to lead: the Systems Environmental Microbiology team at DTU Biosustain!
