Moving to the other side! See you there @sebwenk.bsky.social

Another famous quote of Carl Sagan that should be never forgotten in research practice (or anywhere, in reality): ‘… Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence …'

Pre-Xmas Lab lunch incl farewell of @KarinSchann, @SebWenk, @GlekasP & @Frances2535120. We will miss you in 2025 😢. So privileged to work with this super-special bunch of people 👇

💥💥💥 !!! Please re-post !!! 💥💥💥

Hello Community,

We’re excited to announce that we’re moving to Groningen in January 2025 to embark on a new chapter in our research careers. For this, we need a house/flat and we hope to find a nice place with your help.

In our free time, we enjoy cycling, hiking, and exploring nature, as well as cultural activities such as theater and cinema.

We’re looking forward to becoming part of the Groningen. Please contact me, if you have a place to rent or if you know someone who has.

Thank you for your support!

Dicen que por este otro sitio las cosas están un poco más limpias y la gente es más educada, así que quien tenga un perfil y quiera, encantado de conocerlo por allí

Paper alert! 🎉
Excited to share this collaboration from my PhD time @WeTheBarEvenLab and @erblabs!
We built a new bridge in central metabolism, connecting acetyl-CoA and pyruvate via a novel, engineered pathway.
For some personal highlights, come along 🧵

For the past two years, we have been working on a novel approach to identify origins of transfer by conjugation in plasmids from any bacterial species.

We are thrilled to see this work now published in @NatureMicrobiol after thorough peer review!

Cannot believe 35 yr have passed since this photo in Berlin, Nov 1989. My Lab in Braunschweig where I was postdoc-ing with @KennethTimmis was a mere 2.5 h drive away 😱! #DeutscheEinheit

📢 Happy to announce that the first experimental pre-print of my PhD is out! We (@LabNikel) present CIFR (Clone, Integrate, Flip-Out, Repeat): a transposon-based tool for integrating synthetic modules in Gram-negative bacteria (shorturl.at/XXHpi)! A X-torial 👇 (1/11)

That’s a wrap for #ASBE7! Truly enjoyed all the wonderful oral and poster presentations, and so thankful to have had the opportunity to present the work from the #ReCREA lab in such a cool venue 🔭✨

Today, I had the honor to present some of my work at the University of Cordoba. Thank you @HenningKirst for the invitation and the hospitality!

I am looking forward to collaborating on #Synbio #Sustainability & #BMCs
in the near future.

@UCOBRSeminars @Fac_CienciasUCO @VeterinariaUCO @CordobaCiencia @ETSIAMCordoba Super interesting talk!! Thanks @SebWenk #UCOBioResearchSeminars #UCOBRS

Thrilled to present for the first time our glyoxylate & glycolate sensors to the #Synbio community at #ASBE7—an incredible first public reveal in a planetarium! Not every day you get to share science in such a unique venue. Looking forward to the other sessions' presentations!

This week, I had the opportunity to visit London and present my work @ #SynBio24 on the beautiful Welcome Trust Campus in Hinxton.

A big shout out to the organisers @billerbeck_s @ProfTomEllis @DNARNAProtein01 @GallowayLabMIT! It was a BLAST!!!

Our last selected talk at #synbio24 is from PhD student Karin Schann from CNB CSIC, Spain 🇪🇸 who has engineered biosensor microbes for growth on formaldehyde

Time to hear about engineering E.coli to eat formate from Sebastian Wenk from the National Biotechnology Center in Spain 🇪🇸 #synbio24
