We are offering a #PhD candidate position (Spanish FPI) to work with us at the @cnb-csic.bsky.social in Madrid. The project you would be part of: establish a #biofoundry at our institution, to optimize #synbio experiments from #design to #test. If interested, get in touch!
Excited to share a main project from my PhD, out now in
@naturecomms.bsky.social! 📝
We've designed and brought to life the “CORE cycle” – a new-to-nature pathway that provides a novel route for biological CO2 capture 🦠🌱

Take a look! Thread below... 🧵
Interested in Sustainability, Metabolic Engineering and Evolution?
Check out how we convinced E. coli to grow on the CO2-derived substrate formic acid using the synthetic Serine Threonine Cycle! ♻️🌱🦠

Really happy to share that our work on constructing six glyoxylate / glycolate sensors covering a three order of magnitude concentration range is out now in Nature Communications ! 🔥
Read below to see how we developed the sensors and what they are good for 🥳.

Hello Bluesky community,
transitioning from passive observer to active participant on this platform, I want to quickly introduce myself:
I am a synthetic biologist with a passion for enzymes and metabolic pathways that enable microbial growth on CO2/CO2-derived carbon sources.
Some of the 🚫🪞🦠 authors got grants to do exactly this. We've discussed pros & cons of this by now, but the grant text actually is a great example of how blatantly we exaggerate in proposals. In 2019, they propose to create mirror cells within 6 yrs. In 2024, they write such a feat is far away. 1/2
Such a special day with these amazing people! Feeling so grateful for all the memories and the wonderful time spend together. I'll miss working with you! 🫶🏼🧬🦋
Thank you for such a wonderful farewell! It’s been amazing working with this incredible team - Os voy a echar de menos!
💥💥💥 !!! Please re-post !!! 💥💥💥
Hello Community,
We’re excited to announce that we’re moving to Groningen in January 2025 to embark on a new chapter in our research careers. For this, we need a house/flat and we hope to find a nice place with your help.
We developed a brand new #CRISPR toolkit for Cupriavidus necator, a biotechnological platform for CO2 (and derivatives) valorization.
The system is based on self-splicing introns and allows us to get mutants within 48h and with efficiencies up to 80%

My first paper post on BlueSky: today our preprint on an an efficient SIBR-Cas tool for genome editing of my favorite C. necator (bug growing on H2, CO2 and formate came online www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #syntheticbiology #C1
EMBL Sabbatical Visitor fellowship offers senior scientists an opportunity to spend up to 1 year at EMBL, fostering collaboration, research exchange and exploring new fields in a vibrant and interdisciplinary environment! The sabbaticals are funded up to 15 000 ,- €.
