From June 15-19, 2025, we will organise the 20th International Symposium on the Biology of Actinomycetes (ISBA XX in the Netherlands, at the beach of Egmond. See here for the website: universiteitleiden.nl/isba20…
Registration will open later this year.
Happy to announce the first steps into NRPS/PKS engineering thanks to the work from Leonard and collaborations with the labs from Markus Kaiser and Michael Groll:
Bioengineering of syrbactin megasynthetases for immunoproteasome inhib... sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Tired of drawing biosynthetic pathways for your 15-module NRPS and PKS systems? Or are your eyes hurting from peering at stereocentres? Try visualising your biosynthetic diagrams automatically with RAIChU!

We have joined a DK branch of @TinyEarthNet where we will @nanopore sequence isolates, assemble genomes & do some bioinfo before returning some condensed output to students. Can you recommend tools that produce output that is both exciting and feasible for students to understand?
Our paper on the nanoRAPIDS platform is out in @CommsChem. The analytical pipeline nanofractionates 10 ul complex culture extract into 384 wells and then determines high-res mass and bioactivity of all peaks.

Our new paper is just out now in ACS Chemical Biology! Here we uncover the transport pathway that the antimicrobial lasso peptide cloacaenodin uses to be able to kill susceptible bacteria. This helps explain the narrow-spectrum activity we observe.

In a joint effort, @INTERfaces2020 has built three Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for students and researchers who are interested in (bio)catalysis: “Tailored Materials and Enzymes for Industrial Processes”. SAVE THE DATE: 1st of May, 2024
@REA_research@msca
Is everything bigger in #Texas?? Me & @BradMoore_SIO are stoked to unveil the “PKZILLAs”: Genes for the new largest known enzymes and proteins in #biology, from the Texan fish-killing alga Prymnesium parvum. PKZILLAs make their giant 90-carbon polyketide toxin, prymnesin! 🧵1/n
SAVE THE DATES! 🍝🍻
We have received funding from @novonordiskfond to host our dream meeting about biomolecular condensates in Copenhagen in May 2025.
Speaker list will be revealed later, but I can promise you it will be stellar!
