Excited to share our latest work, published in a peer-reviewed journal. We studied how Gram +/- probiotic bacteria would adapt in mechanical confinements - key part in understanding the fundamentals of Engineered living materials. Read it here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Registration and abstract submission open for Designer Biology 2025 in Newcastle 29-31 July. Looking forward to a great meeting in the best city in the world: efbiotechnology.org/designerbiology

These stages at the @hellotmrc Global Summit 2025 on pioneering Deep Tech innovations are incredible! Really excited to be here and get a glimpse of the future! #deeptech #entrepreneur #future

What's needed for AI to propel scientific discoveries? - Street smarts! That means knowing why ice cream sales and shark attacks increase at the same time! @drjilles explains it much better in our latest Materials Minds episode - youtube.com/shorts/PQsg-bn… @Leibniz_INM

The Leibniz Association turns 30 this year! To celebrate this, at @Leibniz_INM, we've challenged ourselves to explain our research in just 30s! Here's my attempt at explaining the research of my group - youtube.com/shorts/P1CeThH…

Coming soon - Episode 9 of Material Minds, a funny and fascinating conversation with Prof. Jilles Vreeken on how to get AI to propel scientific discoveries! 😃 @drjilles @Leibniz_INM #artificialntelligence #Podcast

How are engineered microbes transforming healthcare? Answer's in our latest review on microbial living matter, uncovering groundbreaking advances in diagnostics, prevention, and therapy - sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #SynBio #biomaterials @Leibniz_INM

Who knew stuffing engineered lactobacilli in a gel would make them better at secreting our engineered proteins? A pleasant surprise for us and a great outcome for therapeutic engineered living materials - doi.org/10.1002/smll.2… @marcblanch94 @Vrunvrun3 @Leibniz_INM

Excited to share our latest research, "PEARL: Protein Eluting Alginate with Recombinant Lactobacilli", published in a peer-reviewed journal! It was a great team effort - check it out if you’re curious about our work: doi.org/10.1002/smll.2…

After finally submitting that massive proposal, which took over your life for a while! 😅

Happy New Year everyone! 🥳 Here's a little nerdy fun to start off on a silly note 😜

Looks like @SpringerNature was working till the end of the year to get my chapter with @Vrunvrun3 on Optogenetic ELMS published! - link.springer.com/protocol/10.10… That's a nice way to end the year 😁

As the year draws to a close, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our co-workers, well-wishers, and followers! We wish you, your colleagues, and your families a joyful holiday season and all the best for the New Year!🤩

Congrats @DeySourik for an incredible performance defending your PhD thesis! The defense turned into an exciting discussion and was a joy to watch. The next group you join will be lucky to have their science boosted by your abilities! Now it's time to celebrate 🥳 @Leibniz_INM

Such a simple yet powerful gesture to appreciate the unsung heroes of the institute and spread some joy! Hanging a note there filled me with a warm, playful joy 🤩

Our December issue is online! Oleaginous microorganisms (@ASDhoble), 3D cancer-immune models (@mcguiganlab), engineered bacterial therapeutics (@ShrikrishnanS), power-to-vitamins, volumetric muscle regeneration, semi-continuous biomanufacturing (@manusbio) and more…
