Do you want to automate strain design of your streptomycetes strains? Then check out StreptoCAD!

Many thanks to @chriiswh, Søren Dalsgård Petersen, @kaiblin, @tilmweber and Rasmus John Normand Frandsen

PhDone!

Last week I finally got to defend my PhD @DTUBiosustain ! Thank you to @MiKrogh , @ThomasTorring , and @BK_KAIST for evaluating my thesis & the great discussion!

Thank you @tilmweber , @TongYaojun, & Tetiana for all your support over the last 3 1/2 years!

Our latest research has just been published today in the journal Nature. We engineered yeast to produce the cancer therapeutic vinblastine. You can find the work here: https://t.co/kJdVcPDEM1. It is the longest biosynthetic pathway ever refactored into yeast.

Using a Streptomyces BGC to produce high energy biofuels! 🚀✈️🛳️ Such a cool project! Congrats @PabloCruzMoral1 et al.

Flying to Toronto for #ISBA2022 after a wonderful week in Boston for #CRISPR2022! Thanks again to all organizers for the fantastic conference and for keeping everyone safe (mandatory testing+masking, ventilation, gatherings outside)! Looking forward to #CRISPR2023!

[Christopher Whitford @chriiswh]

Great first CRISPR technology session at #CRISPR2022! Novel next gen synthetic base editors by @NicoleGaudelli /@BeamTx, recording of transcriptional histories using spacer acquisition by @randall_platt, and finally improved prime editing by @ReganSzalay

[Christopher Whitford @chriiswh]

Super excited to be in Boston for #CRISPR2022 ! Such a fantastic lineup of speakers!

[Christopher Whitford @chriiswh]

Check out this new publication! Great to see more groups adapting multiplexed base editing as a new paradigm for engineering of microbial cell factories! Congratulations to all authors! 🧬🦠

Started my PhD exactly 2 years ago... And so it begins, the stressful and dreaded third year

[DTU Biosustain @DTUBiosustain]

There is still time to apply for the @cphbiosciphd programme 2022 and do your PhD at one of the four @novonordiskfond #Research Centers. Deadline for application: Jan 17th. Read more here: https://t.co/qWPt8QrTgL
