Moderate levels of dissolved iron stimulate cellular growth and increase lipid storage in Symbiodinium sp. Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae are fundamental in coral reef ecosystems and facilitate essential processes such as photosynthesis, nutrient cycling, and calcium carbonate production. I...

Seems like it was a busy ses turtle night.

Metatranscriptomics sheds light on 'who is doing what' in the coral Porites lutea Global decline of coral reefs due to climate change calls for effective, nature-based strategies to protect these crucial ecosystems. Developing such strategies requires a thorough understanding of th...

Thank you friends, colleagues, students and collaborators for the many nice interactions and accomplishments in 2024
Best wishes for a relaxing and merry xmas 🎅and a great 2025🍾Keep up the (team)spirit and good (team)work!

Happy to announce that Sing Teng Chua will join my lab via a 3 y postdoc fellowship @novofoundation.bsky.social
We will use bioinspired co-culture and 3D bioprinting for mapping and modelling optimal design principles for light-driven production.
