Overjoyed & humbled to announce my promotion to Full #Professor & Chair of #Synthetic Bacterial #Metabolism @DTUtweet @DTUBiosustain—I owe this #achievement to the hard work of the amazing @LabNikel bunch, past & current mentors & our collaborators #ProudProfessor #Grateful🎓

When #AlphaFold2 came out, we wondered: Could it help us understand how enzymes evolve? So we tried it—and it worked! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Wrapping up #ME16 #Copenhagen—a success by all measures! Honored to co-chair the meeting w/I. Borodina, M. Chang, A. Mirończuk, C. Vickers, V. Šťovíček, Y. Zhou, M. Köpke & M. Herrgård & to work w/an awesome team of colleagues, engaging communities & topics all around the world

A controversial paper claiming that an extraordinary microorganism can thrive on the toxic element arsenic has been retracted by the journal Science, nearly 15 years after its original publication -- but the paper's authors say the retraction is unwarranted.…
