As zoonotic threats continue to emerge, a rapid one-pot RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a assay enables ultra-specific detection of Monkeypox virus Clade I in just 40 min, supporting faster field surveillance and outbreak response. New from Li et al at doi.org/10.1111/1751-7915.70…

Today by 12 h in the B6 room of the @CNB_CSIC
we will have Akos Nyerges engineeringbio.science of
@Harvard discussing new SynBio-based strategies of containment of engineered bacteria for therapeutic and environmental applications—advanced SynBio at its best!

Curious about the origins and early days of Syn Biol in Spain? Or looking for a SynBio lab where you could pursue a PhD, do a postdoc or explore career opportunities in the country? Take a look at this historical account & snapshot of the field today! 👉🏻 ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wi…
Congratulations to the winners, by going through another record low success rate. Will 2027 be even worse with age cut extended to 10 years 🤔 ?!

AI, robotic and automation are pushing the reshaping of science research so fast, but on the other hand, science needs "long static time" on one topic to dig into the fundamentals, rather than just catching up the tech advancement. How can we balance them – at Schkeuditz, Deutschland

it is not good to have either over-reduced or over-oxidised substrate for biology, with the redox balance posing an intrinsic constraint. This paper presents a nice solution to partially solve the redox imbalance issue with over-reduced substrate

Every hour spent on pointless bureaucracy is an hour not spent on discovery. Excessive paperwork slows research, weakens innovation & deprives society of the benefits of publicly funded science. Time for a reset. @KennethTimmis and colleagues show why 👇enviromicro-journals.onlinel…

I am thrilled to announce my Master student Maria Veit wins the #DECHEMA #PreisdesZukunftsforums, for her excellent work co-supervised by @PabloINik and me. The project builds the basis to realize an efficient electrochemically-driven formate assimilation in #Pseudomonasputida.

PET waste is tough to recycle, but Barriuso’s group upcycled it into biodegradable PHAs using a hybrid approach: fast glycolysis + engineered microbial consortium. By splitting tasks between microbes, they boost efficiency and valorize plastic waste. Read doi.org/10.1111/1751-7915.70…

The time has come to move SYNBIO microbes outside the lab/fermentor & recognize them as allies to repair the env damage we have inflicted on the planet. Achieving this at a truly global scale demands fresh views beyond the very limited Western mindset of control and containment

Grateful for receiving a grant from @BWFUND & others (~50K Euro), allowing trainees & assi professors to get travel grants & prizes and attend the Spain #SynBYSS conference. The conference series do NOT support senior participants unless sponsors indicate otherwise.

My great pleasure to share my research in the past decade in such a wonderful platform for SynBios

I am absolutely annoyed by this email especially the first deadline is still 1w away. If you cannot even wait for the first deadline, which anyway is getting shorter (2w-3w), I have to say sorry to your future requests. such "time-pressing" is destroying our peer review system
A nice collection on the topic of biofuel, its chances and limitations, etc

How do you react when your favorite microbe is renamed by taxonomists who are completely outside your field—and who ignore the community that actually works with it? Here is our clear answer re the case of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 👉🏻 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
