🚀 PhD opportunities at CIB-CSIC with the MSCA SynBio Cofund programme!

Led by Dr. @jorgebarriuso.bsky.social, our Systems Microbiology & Protein Engineering Group is part of the SYNBIO-CSIC initiative recruiting 20 PhD researchers.

Biochemical Upcycling of PET via Glycolysis and Engineered Microbial Consortia Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste remains a major environmental challenge due to its recalcitrance and low economic value. Here, we present an integrated biochemical approach that couples glycoly...

Contrasting evolutionary forces of specialization and admixture underlie the genomic and phenotypic diversity of Yarrowia lipolytica Microbial diversity emerges from evolutionary processes that shape genomic and phenotypic traits in response to complex environmental pressures. Deciphering these dynamics is key to understanding micr...

🌱 At the SusPlast +CSIC conference, our group (led by @jorgebarriuso.bsky.social & Alicia Prieto) enjoyed an excellent talk by David Sanz Mata (postdoc).
He shared our lab’s work on revalorizing plastics & bioplastics through microbial biotech—advancing circular economy innovation 👏

Exciting news, we have a new Bluesky web site for the Microbial Systems and Protein Engineering group 🎉 @microsys.bsky.social

Stay tuned!!!
