- So excited to be funded by @erc.europa.eu to work with this extraordinarily talented group of scientists on the GeneMotors project - unravelling how SMC motors work, how they are regulated and how they regulate gene expression. @ceesdekker.bsky.social @uoe-igc.bsky.social
- Freshly published: "Primitive genotype-phenotype coupling in fuel-dependent synthetic cells" Amazing work and a critical step towards synthetic life by Hector Soria and Leonie Kauling. A thread will follow soon: t.co/9LfrnVYzoq

- This is a paper by Eleonora Ornati and Iiulia Ushakova that I am really proud of. Who would have thought that the well-known Glucose Oxidase is up for some surprises, i.e., that it initiates radical polymerizations without the need for initiators or activation by light! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....
