interested in plant #synbio, Postdoc @stanford in the Brophy lab, alumni @mpi_marburg @erblabs, @gasb_synbio steering @iGEM @igemmarburg instructor 2018-2024
Very excited to share the preprint of a big chapter of my PhD, where I am corresponding & shared first author (together with @gitanguy) about advancing #chloroplast #synbio through high-throughput plastome engineering of #Chlamydomonas: Below in a 🧵: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Postdoc opportunity in my lab in London. Two positions available to work on programming of novel plant traits: 🪴Plant Biologist and Synthetic Biologist! 🪴 Deadline soon — 3 August 2025. Please share with suitable candidates! @SynBioUK @ImperialBioeng @TheSainsburyLab…
Today I had the chance to kickstart the #Plantsynbio course by @synbio4allafrica I was very excited to give the "Introduction to Plant Synthetic Biology" lecture and at the same time blown away by the engagement of the african community! Stay tuned for the next weeks!
85+ students joined Week 1 of our Plant SynBio course. From group projects to a hands-on, on an African plant, we’re building skills where no programs exist yet. Africa is ready for synbio. And we’re making it happen. Learn more: synbio4all.wixsite.com/synbio4all/edu…

📢Wir sind überglücklich, dass unser Exzellenzcluster Microbes-for-Climate (M4C) in der Exzellenzstrategie 2025 ausgewählt wurde! 🥳 Wir freuen uns gemeinsam mit der Philipps-Universität Marburg auf spannende #Mikrobenforschung! @maxplanckpress @BangeBalcony #synbio #research
This art profile has always explored biology, but now I’m narrowing my focus to flower engineering 🌹 🔧 I want to take my work to the next level, pushing the boundaries of biodesign and imaging to create works that inspire wonder and deep, important questions about life.
So, what's next? In 2025, I plan to build on these flowers for a project blending education, art, and plant biotechnology. Stay tuned for exciting updates next year! Learn more on my website: nickdesnoyer.com (7/7)
I genetically engineered the amazing Arabidopsis to mimic the striking patterns of my Tradescantia zebrina🧬🌱 From concept to creation, here's the story behind transforming this plant into a living work of art! (1/7) 🧵"
It was a pleasure to host Julia Rinn & Alexander Kuhne from the @igemmarburg 24 team (@iGEM Grand Prize winners) where they shared how Twist played a role in their project using 🌱 synbio to make dandelions easier to engineer for natural rubber production: bit.ly/4hE1E5y
After an incredible chapter at the @erblabs @mpi_marburg, I'm deeply grateful for all the support over the years. Thrilled to begin my postdoctoral journey at @Stanford in the Brophy Lab, where I've been warmly welcomed! Thrilled to dive into #plantsynbio in the coming years! 🌱
In one year, I genetically engineered the boring Arabidopsis into a beautiful ornamental flower 🧬🌹 Here is how and why I gave this model organism a visual upgrade 🧵(1/7)
Congratulations @igemmarburg 🥳🎉🎉they did it again!! 🥇Such amazing young talent! 2024.igem.wiki/marburg/#
It was an amazing experience to attend the Grand Jamboree and see all the incredible ideas! We are thrilled to have won the Grand Prize. We would like to thank all the sponsors, supervisors, PIs and supporters who made this possible. Words cannot express our gratitude! @iGEM
Wow! 🏆👏🍾Herzlichen Glückwunsch an das iGEM2024-Team der #UniMarburg, das wieder einmal den Grand Prize abgeräumt und damit das Triple geschafft hat. Mehr dazu: uni-marburg.de/iLNxgv @mpi_marburg @SYNMIKRO @igemmarburg
Attending the 2024 @iGEM Grand Jamboree and seeing so many groundbreaking ideas was unforgettable! I’m incredibly proud of my team for their hard work 🎉 Winning the Grand Prize is the ultimate reward. It has been an honor to supervise such a passionate group of students.

I'm incredibly proud of my @iGEM team, who won the Grand Prize along with 4 special prizes & 2 additional nominations! This Grand Prize is a perfect conclusion and ending to my time in Marburg, where I've had the honor of being the @igemmarburg instructor for the past 6 years.

Super interesting and highly important work for #PlantSynBio Check out this preprint about high-throughput characterization of enhancer-blocking insulators via plant STARR-seq. This is a major step toward making gene expression in stably transformed plants more predictable! 🌱
Out now on biorxiv: We studied the activity of enhancer-blocking insulators in plants and found that they also act as silencers when placed upstream of moderate to weak enhancers. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
A room full of humans cutting tiny plants and transferring them between jars all day -- That's plant tissue culture today. It's labor intensive, tedious, expensive. 🤖🌱Why hasn't anyone built the OpenTrons of plants yet??!! Glad you asked! I just posted a new piece on this. 1/8
Ok, this is a big one! Proud to present our latest story on hydropatterning-a process that allows plants to sense moisture gradients in soil and activate branching. Johannes Scharwies defines the genetic basis for this response in maize and Arabidopsis! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Working on some more community love on this gentle Sunday by writing a tutorial on how I use Primer3Plus.com to generate reliable primers for both detection and cloning. Please RT and share with your students! Enjoy! 💚 binomicalabs.notion.site/PCR-Primer-Des…
