Funded position available to join my new team at University of Turku, Finland, to do a PhD on how circadian clocks regulate extracellular electron transfer in photosynthetic cells. Application open until end of summer, start by end of year. Please share/apply ats.talentadore.com/apply/vaitos...

Dissecting Bioelectrical Networks in Photosynthetic Membranes with Electrochemistry Photosynthetic membranes contain complex networks of redox proteins and molecules, which direct electrons along various energy-to-chemical interconversion reactions important for sustaining life on Ea...

Our latest paper is out now in @jacs.acspublications.org . In this study we tried to push the limits of #electrochemistry beyond proteins, to studying entire pathways of biological electron transfer ⚡️🦠. Here's a summary 🧵 (1/10)

I'm excited to start my independent research group on Bioelectricity in Plant Sciences at the University of Turku, Finland, with an Emerging Investigator grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. I will open funded positions in Autumn 2025 to join from Spring 2026. Please email if you see a match.

Flavodiiron proteins associate pH‐dependently with the thylakoid membrane for ferredoxin‐1‐powered O2 photoreduction Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) catalyse light-dependent reduction of oxygen to water in photosynthetic organisms, creating an electron sink on the acceptor side of Photosystem I that protects the photo...

Our paper on how light-induced pH changes control the thylakoid membrane association and activity of flavodiiron proteins in Synechocystis is out @NewPhyt!
