We also got to try some typically British evening - a pub and a curry!

Back to London for another get together our NextSkins project - this time for our halfway meeting. Wonderful to look back at all the achievements and celebrate these and plan for getting our innovations to work together over the next few years. Exciting ideas!

Thanks to all the members of both projects who came to the talks and the lunch. We missed those of you who couldn’t make it.

NextSkins X SkinDev - a great meeting today @imperialcollege for our two EIC projects both using synthetic biology for skin health applications. Ours using ELMs and theirs using systems biology. Lots to learn from each other @EUeic @SKINDEV_EU @ProfTomEllis

The NextSkins team is together in Ghent for our latest project meeting. 2 days of updates and workshops.

NextSkins x Fungateria workshop on biomineralized ELMs. Exciting to have two of the EIC projects on Engineered Living Materials getting together in Ghent 🇧🇪 for a productive afternoon.

Cellulose-producing bacteria are driving sustainable biomaterials and #EngineeredLivingMaterials (ELMs). In our latest review with @ProfTomEllis, Ivy Li, and Natasha Kisseroudis, we explore the intersection of #SynBio and bacterial cellulose design.👇

NextSkins was excited to share their first results and to hear from the other ELM projects at the EIC ELMs Portfolio Symposium last month in Saarbrucken! #ELMs #NextSkins #EIC @koray_malci

@AaltoUniversity Lots of work too. We’re seeing exciting results from all our partners and lots of plans for papers coming together.

We’re altogether in sunny Helsinki 🇫🇮 at @AaltoUniversity for our ELMs project summer meeting. ☀️ ☀️ ☀️

Markus and the @AaltoUniversity group have been great hosts

Genetic engineering of material-producing bacteria creates pigmented products, according to a paper in @NatureBiotech. https://t.co/iBUrpDSrA0

Happy to share that our work engineering cellulose-producing bacteria to grow light-induced patterns and make melanin to grow black leather-like materials is now published OA in @NatureBiotech > Study led by the amazing Marcus Walker @Marcus_waal https://t.co/4FBUFjvzq6

And the PIs even managed to get 20 mins off report writing to go see a local landmark

Happy 1st birthday to our NextSkins Engineered Living Materials EIC project. A few days together in Delft 🇳🇱 talking science, materials and more. @elvinkarana @ProfTomEllis @AubinTam @tudelft @AaltoUniversity

Paid my first visit to the Future Fabrics Expo today in London run by @Sustainable_Ang and was blown away by the influx of all-things-biology in the fabrics and fashion space.

I am honored to give a lecture in Germany to nurture our future leaders!
Hope to see many bright young students and researchers!

Project member Salla Koskela from Aalto University created this wonderfully fluorescent version of our NextSkins logo in the lab. Salla made the text by placing a printed NextSkins logo under the agar plate and then spread GFP-expressing E. Coli with inoculation loop.
