PhD student in synthetic biology. I am into anything sustainable: from fuels to sport!

I managed to make the tool work in C. autoethanogenum, even edit two genes at once, but many off-targets mutations also popped up, which made the final strain unusable. An underwhelming conclusion after so much time and efforts, but such is the way of science!

Last July, another part of my PhD research was published in Frontiers!

I tested Target-AID, a genetic tool based on CRISPR-Cas9 which has the potential to edit several genes at once in organisms with poor homologous recombination DNA repair systems.

@Eurostar your app pre-filled Paris as my destination, so now I have useless tickets to Paris instead of Brussels. Any chance way I could change my destination?

I finally graduated from my PhD in molecular microbiology at the University of Nottingham!

Thanks a lot to my friends and family, my supervisors, and of course the SBRC-nottingham and the incredible Biodiscovery institute team for having made this possible!

Chris has been of great support throughout my PhD, and I'm sure he'll do brilliantly in this new carbon utilisation project!

Always a pleasure to see Nottingham trending in the news :')
Are you propping up you PR @MyNottingham ?

They are frightened at the prospect of liability at what they have done & they are scared of courts.

So proud of my university and my new city! That's exactly the kind of initiatives we need to build sustainable and resilient communities.

@TheEconomist what is your take on this?

maybe it's time to drop advertisements from BP that help them look green?
