🚀EPR training

Recently, Deborah Boes got the opportunity to participate in an EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) training. Read below her experience 👇

"To learn more about a specific analysis method that I will be using during my project, last week I got the opportunity to participate in an EPR training school organised as part of a European COST action. In this COST action, scientists who all work on the same research topic, in this case Iron-Sulfur clusters, are brought together to share their knowledge and learn more on the topic together. The EPR training was organised by the research group of Dr. Maxie M. Roessler at Imperial College London. Together with them, we got to learn a lot about different EPR techniques and how to analyse and interpret the data, while at the same time getting to know other scientists who work in the same field. It was a great experience learning so many new techniques and getting to know some great new people!"

European Congress on Biotechnology 2024 - posters

📢 W-BioCat results were presented at the European Congress on Biotechnology (#ECB2024) in the Netherlands, 30 June - 4 July 2024.

If you did not have the chance to attend the event, now you can take a look at the posters that Delft University of Technology researchers presented! 📊 🔬

Deborah Boes - Recombinant expression of tungsten containing enzymes in Escherica coli

Rob Schmitz - In Hot Pursuit: Tungsten-Containing Enzymes from Pyrococcus furiosus for Sustainable Chemical Synthesis

Richard McLean, PostDoctoral researcher at Weizmann Institue

I am Richard McLean and my primary interest lies at the blurry line between metabolism and abiotic organic chemistry and using enzyme engineering to expand that overlap as much as possible. I completed my doctoral work on the Hydroxypropionyl-CoA/Acrylyl-CoA (HOPAC) Cycle in the Erb Lab at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in 2022 and joined the Fleishman Lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science as a postdoctoral fellow in 2023. Within the W-BioCat consortium, my project will center on improving the expressibility of the 𝘗𝘺𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘴𝘶𝘴 Wco biosynthetic pathway in 𝘌.𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘪, and further work with the Wco-containing aldehyde oxidoreductases.
