10 years ago today, Italian PhD student Giulio Regeni was found murdered after being kidnapped and tortured by Egyptian security services. Egypt has never cooperated with Italian prosecutors to identify those responsible

Newest preprint from our lab: a new family of promising synthetic CO2 fixation cycles that may outcompete the Calvin cycle and that Vittorio Rainaldi realized to a great extent in E. coli! Up to 11 heterologous enzymes in a cascade supporting CO2 fixation & growth! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Growth-coupled microbial biosynthesis of the animal pigment xanthommatin — Led by Leah Bushin, featuring M. Gracia Alvan, @danielvolke.bsky.social @oscarpuiggene.bsky.social in a fantastic collaboration w/Brad Moore @labnikel.bsky.social @natbiotech.nature.com 🦑

How does Pseudomonas putida keep its redox balance steady across different metabolic states?
Our new preprint shows that two transhydrogenases -membrane-bound PntAB and soluble SthA - act together as a flexible, reversible system to control NAD(H)/NADP(H) ratios.

When evolution and enzyme engineering team up, they can convince microbes to assimilate sustainable carbon substrates preparing them for a life in a circular bioeconomy.

🧪 We're hiring a #Postdoc in Bioprocess Engineering!
Excited about scaling CO₂-based biomanufacturing from bench to pilot scale?
Join our group working on converting CO₂ + renewable electricity → polymers 💡🌱 👇

This is quite subjective , but imo
@helenasm.bsky.social just gave the most impressive talk of the conference so far and she is "only" in the third year of her PhD.
If you are interested in synthetic pathway engineering or C1 fixation you should check out her research.
