Excited to share a main project from my PhD, out now in
@naturecomms.bsky.social! πŸ“
We've designed and brought to life the β€œCORE cycle” – a new-to-nature pathway that provides a novel route for biological CO2 capture 🦠🌱

Take a look! Thread below... 🧡

Thrilled to have been part of the 76th Mosbacher Kolloquium! Huge thanks to @gbmev.bsky.social for organizing such an engaging conference! @anastasiagtz.bsky.so and I were excited to share our insights on differential transport across membranes, and we're truly honored to receive the poster award!

Computation-aided designs enable developing auxotrophic metabolic sensors for wide-range glyoxylate and glycolate detection - Nature Communications Auxotrophic metabolic sensors (AMS) are vital for bioengineering but are often time-consuming to develop. Here, the authors present a workflow for designing versatile AMS, demonstrating their use for ...

Really happy to share that our work on constructing six glyoxylate / glycolate sensors covering a three order of magnitude concentration range is out now in Nature Communications ! πŸ”₯

Read below to see how we developed the sensors and what they are good for πŸ₯³.

One-carbon fixation via the synthetic reductive glycine pathway exceeds yield of the Calvin cycle - Nature Microbiology An engineered one-carbon-fixation pathway increases biomass yields of Cupriavidus necator compared with the Calvin cycle and can support future, sustainable bio-based production.

Super excited to see my main PhD project finally out in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41.... We show for the first time that a synthetic and engineered pathway can indeed exceed nature at one-carbon fixation.

Marburg. Sometimes it feels like I am working at Silent Hill. But it has its own charm ;)

Five generated protein structures coloured with a gradient from purple to teal. The structures are shaped and positioned to spell out the word "salad" – the name of the software described in the mentioned preprint – in all-capital letters.

New protein ML preprint from my PhD project.
We describe salad (sparse all-atom denoising), a family of efficient protein structure diffusion models and show that it works well on a bunch of protein design task previously described in the literature.
