A last one from my PhD just got published! The same gene-set we used in S. cerevisiae also works in a very distant yeast such as Y. lipolytica and probably in most yeasts to enable moco-dependent nitrate assimilation academic.oup.com/femsyr/adva…

We have another position open at Octarine, this time for a Fermentation Scientist. Come join us in our mission to harness synthetic biology to create ground-breaking treatments for poorly-served conditions linkedin.com/jobs/view/27384…
Big part of the experiments were performed during my @pacmen_itn secondment at @DTUBiosustain. I would like to thank @Irina__Borodina and @MSCActions for the great opportunity. I believe every PhD student in life science should experience a research period abroad!

What's best than closing the academic year with two PhD committees? Warmest congratulations to Steef de Valk @TUDelft_CT and Thomas Perli @thomasperli @TNWTUDelft for your achievements - nicely wrapped in #popular designs : )

This @thomasperli 👇 from @tudelft completed a #tourdeforce study on refactoring cofactor biosynthesis in @yeast with an absolutely excellent #phd defense. Excited to be part of your committee and @pacmen_itn journey. Congratulations to you + mentors @jgdaran1 & @Jack_Pronk_ !

My group at @IMSB_ETH ETHZ is recruiting a lab technician/manager with a PhD in S. cerevisiae genetics / cell bio. ~60% time devoted to research on the functional relevance of PTMs and genetics of trait variation and ~40% on lab management jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOPG_e…
The peer-reviewed and final version is out, just published on @mbiojournal! Shout out to @rortiz_ESR, who put a lot of effort into improving the protein sequences analysis part! doi.org/10.1128/mBio.00967-2…
New pre-print out! Neo's are really cool fungi but they are hard to handle. We studied their adaptation to anaerobic environment by expressing key genes for NAD+ and CoA biosynthesis in yeast and found that this was enough to confer oxygen-independent co-factor prototrophy!

Really cool #openaccess article from my colleague @aksnorw @pacmen_itn @IMB_TUDelft showcasing a great strategy to make yeast biotin prototroph, in the absence of oxygen! Check it out! #EU2020 authors.elsevier.com/c/1dF90…

One month to go to my #PhD defense and just placed an order for my #thesis books. Time is flying! Here is a @pacmen_itn themed #WordCloud of the main text. A good way to summarize the topic of my #research!

Together with my colleagues from @IMB_TUDelft we created this awesome piece of art representing a yeast cell!!
