Synthetically-primed evolution enables emergence of Pseudomonas putida strains able to grow on explosive residue 2,4 DNT as sole C/N source. A case of *molecular negotiation* between the implanted pathway & the host’s regulatory & physiological network 🤔 kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrac…

I am ***absurdly*** excited to announce the launch of a new funding opportunity through Experiment dot com!!! You have one month to pitch something wonderful in the realm of plant biology/biotech research and education. $10,000 max grant. PLEASE RT!!! 1/3 experiment.com/programs/plan…

#Pseudomonas fans: this is THE course you've always dreamed of!😃Advanced #SynBio & #Metabolic #Engineering of Pseudomonas organized by @vdlorenzo_CNB & yours truly. A fantastic faculty & trainer roster is ready to host you at @CSHL Suzhou September 2025 csh-asia.org/?content/2645

The @CNB_CSIC will host this whole week microbial evolution legend Paul Rainey micropop.evolbio.mpg.de/peop… @MPI_EvolBio. As part of his visit, he will give on Tuesday a talk on quite a controversial issue: Evolutionary foresight 😱 Interesting—if not fierce—discussions guaranteed 👇

OMG ☹️! This is serious 👉🏻Trees and land absorbed almost no CO2 last year theguardian.com/environment/…

Is quitting academia same as quitting science? 🤔

This Monday Oct 7 by 12 h at B6 Room of the @CNB_CSIC we will have @MarkBlenner of @UDelaware telling us about the latest research in his SynBio Lab blennerlab.com/, looking forward to it!

📢We are hiring! We have a 4-year PhD position to offer (Spanish FPI fellowship). If you want to pursue a PhD in #syntheticbiology please contact me. Candidate background is open: can be computational or experimental. Topic: distributed computation & synthetic consortia.

Truer words have never been spoken.

For all the fellow colleagues and friends, writing manuscripts in the middle of summer....#synbio

I am happy to join the Groningen Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology Institute as Assistant Professor in early 2025. My group will engineer microbes to grow on sustainable feedstocks: CO2, Methanol, Formate... Stay tuned for job openings! #youngPI #SustainableBiotech

Grand farewell of the latest—but by no means the least—visitor to our Lab @GlekasP in a Greek hangout (where else 🙄?) in Madrid. He pushed through quite cool stuff on genet-encoded biosensors for monitoring biodesulfurization of fossil fuels. Looking forward to his next visit 😃

The best of this job is working surrounded by talented people and fertile minds 😍

In the past 12 months, I have published in @Nature (led by my PhD student, @NatureComms and was interviewed for @NatureGeosci My dept has rated my #AnnualPerformance as “Below Average”. I’m at a loss.

CRISPR trials begin in humans. ow.ly/FTT0306hlea
