Our group is well represented at the #ASBE7 conference in Brno with multiple posters, flash talks and 2 speakers: @LobkeSips and @BrechtDePaepe. Great venue, diverse talks and excellent networking opportunities. Thanks to the organizing team @PavelcitoD e.a. @EFBiotechnology

[Centre for Synthetic Biology @CSB_UGent]

At CSB, we conduct research on a variety of microorganisms. As a lot of processes are executed at high temperatures, thermophilic bacteria can be a great source to expand our #synbio toolbox. Read more in the EOS blog of @Bene_Amery.

My mum: How does it feel, being in your second year of your PhD?
Me: My brain is a pinball machine, and I cannot control the flippers
...
My mum: Oh dear, can you do something about it?
Me: No, its normal and it will only get worse 🥲

New year - new lab clean! This bench is ready for some #SynBio labwork 🛠️🦠 Looking forward to new #experiments and new opportunities to grow as a PhD 🔬👩🏻‍🔬 @CSB_UGent

[B-COS @BCOS__]

Happy and healthy 2024 from the B-COS team! A new year means new networking opportunities. In Q1 of 2024 we will attend #DIAH2024, the @hellotmrc global summit, @cropib and #CBM15!
B-COS we would love meeting you there!

Exciting news to share! 📢

My colleague is presenting groundbreaking research on yeast cells at an international conference. Her dedication to advancing scientific knowledge is truly inspiring 👏 #ICYGMB31 #Saccharomyces #SynBio

[Centre for Synthetic Biology @CSB_UGent]

Our colleague Liv Teresa Muth (BioPort) represented CSB at #ICYGMB31 in Florence, Italy.

She presented her research with a poster titled "Post-translational lipidations as minimal plasma membrane targeting motifs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae".

[Brecht De Paepe @BrechtDePaepe]

So happy to give a rapid fire talk today and even happier to discuss my #biosensor work with só many interested people 🙏 (still welcome tomorrow at Poster 60 or in person the days after). The first day of #ME15 was a great one with non-stop interesting talks #singapore #synbio👍

What an experience to be able to present my research from @CSB_UGent at #ME15! Loving the atmosphere here in Singapore. Looking forward to many more interesting talks and discussions! Congratulations to the organizers for such an inspiring event!

@PicturesFoIder Error error - math!

And
What was the equation again?!

[Bene Amery @Bene_Amery]

But turns out the reason was a rooky mistake😲. I never had this before, not as a bachelor's student nor a lab technician, but finally, as a PhD student, I used the wrong ingredient to make a medium. Turns out it takes quite some expertise to make such a mistake🤓🥲.

[Bene Amery @Bene_Amery]

What a week! Last weekend I noted that my bacteria no longer wanted to grow on their plate. So I took a sample from the -80°C stock, and guess what?! They still did not grow!🤔 After having contamination the week before and losing my plaques, I was somewhat desperate.😓

[Bene Amery @Bene_Amery]

This is how I sometimes imagine my bacteria look! 🦠
