Excited to be at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) for the first time to present at the Life Sciences Students Symposium. Such impressive venue. No pressure!

Appealing to the wisdom of the crowd: Let's say molecule X produced by microbe Y is used as an 'organic' fertiliser. If molecule X is produced recombinantly in microbe Z, purified and used as a fertiliser, could this process receive 'organic certification'?

The best part of my job is spending my days with this wonderful group of very talented people! @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @imperiallifesci.bsky.social

We're hiring for 2 postdocs to work in our lab in London on the newly announced Wellcome Trust SynHG project. If you know people looking to work on big-scale ambitious science like this, please RT and share this with them. Apply by 7/20, interviews in Aug. imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-...

Question for the Pseudomonas putida aficionados. Is there an application of P. putida different from PHA biosynthesis being used at an industrial scale? Maybe muconate production? If so, does it involve recombinant protein production from plasmids? @vdlorenzo.bsky.social @pabnik.bsky.social

New research hubs to cut carbon and reshape UK manufacturing From green steel and recycled plastics to turning waste into new materials and using AI to boost productivity, four hubs will tackle UK manufacturing challenges.

Delighted to share good news after a long embargo! We'll be part of C-Loop an EPSRC Bio-manufacturing Hub focusing on making value out of waste!! Looking forward to this project led by Stephen Wallace at Edinburgh #circulareconomy @imperiallifesci.bsky.social www.ukri.org/news/new-res...

Hot from the oven!! New publication joining forces with Leo Rios' group at @UCL reviewing the potential of Halomonas for #synbio @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social @imperiallifesci.bsky.social microbialcellfactories.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Big congratulations to Syeda Begum on passing her PhD viva!!! Really brave for completing the first #mammalian #synbio project of the group. She's got amazing results so watch this space! Also thanks to Karen Polizzi and Susan Rosser for being wonderful examiners!

Much better that the "Tim taps the tin" I remember from when my chidren were in reception 😂

Gene Expression Depends on the Interplay Among Growth, Resource Biogenesis, and Nutrient Quality The gene expression capacity of bacteria depends on the interplay between growth and the availability of the transcriptional and translational machinery. Growth rate is accepted as the physiological p...

Paper alert!! Really proud of this thorough investigation on bacterial resource allocation using chemostats. We dissect the specific contributions of growth and metabolism to gene expression. For better biosynthetic yields grow cells slowly in rich carbon sources!! 🧫🔬🧪 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
