🚨 New article! Discover how #TOLERATE uses ancient DNA & synthetic biology for #climateresilience & innovation. 👉 lnkd.in/dCx9bzuy #HorizonEU #EUResearch
Day 2 wrapped up with @HorizonBooster exploring joint actions! Plus, a workshop on outreach strategies to boost #climate action impact. 🚀 Cheers to our amazing team! 🌍 #TolerateProject
🧬 @TOLERATE_EU latest article in The Biologist explores how microorganisms preserved in permafrost may enhance plant resilience to extreme heat & drought. 🌍 Discover how the past could unlock solutions for the future! 🔬 bit.ly/3ZuVBub
🌱 Project TOLERATE aims to make the rhizo-microbiome future-fit by engineering soil bacteria to produce biomolecules aiding climate adaptation. These bioinoculants support plant growth during drought, aligning with the European Green Deal goals.
🧬🌱 Welcome to TOLERATE! Unearthing million-year-old microbial secrets to boost crop resilience and create eco-friendly industrial solutions. From Arctic permafrost to tomorrow's fields, we're turning ancient adaptations into modern climate solutions 🌿🧊.
🌍 Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay! 🌿 At TOLERATE, we study ancient Arctic DNA to unlock nature's climate resilience secrets. Our work aims to enhance crop tolerance and develop sustainable industrial solutions. Let's innovate for a greener future! 🧬🪴
Happy #EuropeDay! Today, we celebrate the spirit of #unity and #collaboration that defines the @EUCouncil & the #EuropeanUnion itself! 🎉 🇪🇺 At INsociety, we’re proud of have been fostering #innovation in hyper-collaborative #EUfunded projects for over 10 years! 🤝 #HorizonEU
Discover the latest advancements in single-cell analysis!! Introducing our new SIP-nanoscopy technique, designed to visualise & quantify cell metabolism and metabolic diversity ⬇️⬇️⬇️
🧬Hot off the press in @SmallJournal! Our joint work with @AmedeaPerfumo & @UFZ_de Leipzig explores cutting-edge nanoscopy for single-cell analysis. 🚀🔬 Check it out and discover new possibilities for imaging cell metabolism on the nanoscale: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm…
Happy #EarthDay! 🌍🌿 Today we commemorate our planet's heritage to ensure its future. #TOLERATE examines ancient DNA from Arctic soils, unveiling nature's response to climate shifts. From bolstering crop resilience to pioneering eco-solutions. Keep an eye on us for more info!
On this #InternationalWomensDay, a shout out all my female colleagues who, despite harassment, microaggression, unrecognised service, not getting credit for their ideas, & constant underestimation, are just quietly getting on with their great science
It's #InternationalWomensDay, the perfect day to share with you our 10 Inspirational Women in Microbiology Infographic! Produced by Maja Rischer (@m_rischer), and members of the #OnThisDay team. #InspireInclusion #IWD2024
Registration open for the #Pseudomonas #conference! Please go ahead and register soon; students and early career researchers can apply for fellowships to cover their expenses. Please RT and see you all in #Copenhagen #Pseudomonas2024 @MicrobioSoc
📢#Pseudomonas enthusiasts! Join us at the international #conference Sept 1-5🗓️Dive into the latest research on #microbiology, clinical #infection & #biotechnology🔬Abstract submission opens this week · #Pseudomonas2024 @MicrobioSoc @PseudomonasC Pls RT! microbiologysociety.org/event/full-eve…
🚨 New SIP-nanoscopy technique for single-cell analysis 🦠, pushing the limits to the molecular-scale. Great team-work with @ElsaesserLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
A sensational dive into new-to-nature bioproducts for the inaugural lecture of my esteemed colleague and dear friend @PabloINik as @DTUBiosustain Professor! Super congrats Pablo!!! 👏👏👏
Lightning day trip to Copenhagen for attending the inaugural lecture of @PabloINik as DTU Professor 👏!
Back to ☀️Cyprus for the Kick-Off Meeting of our new @HorizonEU project #TOLERATE. Ready to merge #ancientDNA 🧬with synthetic biology 🧪to enhance microbes' climate resilience and boost bio-based economy @EUgreenresearch @REA_research @SedimentaryDNA

Can we learn from ancient #DNA how to design microbes & crops for a #sustainable future? Our new @HorizonEU project #TOLERATE will address this! KOM #Cyprus #EUGreenDeal #EUBiodiversity #ZeroPollution @EUgreenresearch @REA_research @EUScienceInnov @EUAgri @EU_ENV @HE_NCP_Portal
