Our work on Taxol biosynthesis is now out at @NatureSynthesis. You can read it here: nature.com/articles/s4416… Congratulations to @FYL72430027 and the rest of the @KampranisLab and thank you @novonordiskfond @DFF_raad and @KU_PLEN
This is so crazy 😞
Farmers across the Philippines will now have to rip up their crops after Greenpeace successfully convinces a court to block golden rice cultivation. This decision will have dire consequences for the lives of millions of children in some of the world's poorest countries.…

I am thrilled to share our latest biosensor publication in @BiochemistryACS. In this work, we engineered a #biosensor strain for detecting polyketide macrolactones as a step toward applying high-throughput #synbio to polyketide synthases. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… @NCStateChem
Excited to share our latest article! We develop a systematic method to biosynthesize isoprenoid analogs with additional carbons in their skeletons, opening new avenues for biotechnological applications. Thank you: @novonordiskfond @DFF_raad Read more: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Perfect post for a Friday nearing beer-o'-clock...
The authors of a @NatureComms paper are suggesting that a new machine learning method could help food manufacturers to meet specific consumer demands in a more efficient and cost-effective way, improving the flavour of Belgian beer. Read the article here: nature.com/articles/s4146…
Dr. @s_kampranis, a member of the #Boost4Bio Scientific Advisory Board and a visionary of synthetic biology, recently gave an inspiring interview to @vmihop. ✍Discover a glimpse of his groundbreaking work, translated into English here: boost4bio.org/2024/05/13/exp…
