Andreas M. Küffner

Incoming Group Leader | Biochemistry & Biocatalysis
Focused on carbon fixation and organelle biochemistry.

[Andreas M. Küffner @AMKueffner]

I am soon seeking passionate and driven PhD candidates to join me on this exciting journey. Together, we'll explore new frontiers in science and contribute to sustainable solutions for our planet. Feel free to reach out if you're interested in being part of this emerging lab!

[Andreas M. Küffner @AMKueffner]

Exciting News!

I am thrilled to share that I will be launching a research group at the @mpi_nat in Göttingen this July!

[Andreas M. Küffner @AMKueffner]

Our mission is to delve into the world of biological carbon fixation, exploring the intricate biocatalysis behind these processes. With a focus on carbon concentrating mechanisms, organelle function and enzyme engineering we aim to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge.

[Andreas M. Küffner @AMKueffner]

Happy to share my first pre-print out of my post-doc in the @erblabs at the @mpi_marburg. If you are If you are interested in the evolution of intrinsically disordered proteins and how they are connected to carbon fixation through Rubisco, give it a read https://t.co/WDK52Smvgi

[SYBORG @erblabs]

Hot off the press: Read how @Shan2luo from our lab constructed a new interface between electricity and biology: powering life-like system directly with electricity might open up new possibilities for #synbio https://t.co/oHsl50jujA

[Maik Wolfram-Schauerte @MaikSchauerte]

Very happy to see our paper about the #RNAylation out in @Nature! This demonstrates that #phage research can still enable exciting and novel discoveries! Special thanks to @HoeferLab, as well as @JaeschkeLab and UrlaubLab for contributions and support!

@erblabs Congrats @gitanguy 🥳🥳

[Beau Dronsella @BDronsella]

Greetings, did you know that there are only a few studies showing bioproduction from formate. Find out how we expand this list by engineering Cupriavidus necator to produce crotonate from formate. Big props to Enrico Orsi for his leadership. Read his tweetorial for the story🔥

[Max Planck Society @maxplanckpress]

On our birthday, we also want to say thank you to our community: our amazing researchers & staff at our Max Planck Institutes! Thank you for your incredible talent, dedication, enthusiasm, passion & hard work - we couldn’t do it without you!🤗👏*Now let’s all have some cake*!😉

Very impressed by @mpi_marburg - internationally visible focus on microbiology and synthetic biology together with @SYNMIKRO and the University of Marburg.

[Andreas M. Küffner @AMKueffner]

I am very grateful to @EMBO for awarding me a PostDoc fellowship for my work in the @erblabs at the @mpi_marburg on new-to-nature pyrenoids and bottom-up synthetic biology. I truly feel honored.

[Andreas M. Küffner @AMKueffner]

Check out this preprint from @BDronsella & @erblabs on the efficiency of engineered one-carbon metabolism 🌱🔎

[Beau Dronsella @BDronsella]

#preprint alert!!🚨 @biorxiv (https://t.co/jb4McVbSWT)🔥 We show for the first time that the synthetic reductive glycine pathway (rGlyP) can outperform the Calvin cycle within the same microbiological chassis🧫🔬 #synbio #formate #bioeconomy #onecarbon #metabolism (1/15)🧵

Congratulations to @schulluc and @erblabs/@KaHochberg/@omc111 team for this amazing publication🥳🥳

[Luca Schulz @schulluc]

Super excited to share my 1st first-author publication out today in @ScienceMagazine, in which we resurrect billion-year-old enzymes to study the evolution of Rubisco. Let me tell you how a 100 amino acid protein facilitated the rise of oxygenic life.
