Hats off to our latest #PhDone: Nishu Yadav explored how #carbohydrates can be engineered to fold into defined, stable structures. Just as in proteins and DNA, in carbohydrates too “form follows function”.

Sing teng delivering a lecture at MPICI
Audience fills a room for Sing Teng's lecture at MPICI
Sing Teng C. uses 3D #bioprinting to build multilayered communities of #cyanobacteria and study how they absorb and share different wavelengths of light (including far-red light).
These insights are crucial for designing more efficient #photobioreactors.
