Moving to the other side! See you there @sebwenk.bsky.social

Another famous quote of Carl Sagan that should be never forgotten in research practice (or anywhere, in reality): ‘… Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence …'

Pre-Xmas Lab lunch incl farewell of @KarinSchann, @SebWenk, @GlekasP & @Frances2535120. We will miss you in 2025 😢. So privileged to work with this super-special bunch of people 👇

Dicen que por este otro sitio las cosas están un poco más limpias y la gente es más educada, así que quien tenga un perfil y quiera, encantado de conocerlo por allí

Paper alert! 🎉 Excited to share this collaboration from my PhD time @wethebarevenlab and @erblabs! We built a new bridge in central metabolism, connecting acetyl-CoA and pyruvate via a novel, engineered pathway. For some personal highlights, come along 🧵 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

For the past two years, we have been working on a novel approach to identify origins of transfer by conjugation in plasmids from any bacterial species. We are thrilled to see this work now published in @NatureMicrobiol after thorough peer review! nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

Cannot believe 35 yr have passed since this photo in Berlin, Nov 1989. My Lab in Braunschweig where I was postdoc-ing with @KennethTimmis was a mere 2.5 h drive away 😱! #DeutscheEinheit

📢 Happy to announce that the first experimental pre-print of my PhD is out! We (@LabNikel) present CIFR (Clone, Integrate, Flip-Out, Repeat): a transposon-based tool for integrating synthetic modules in Gram-negative bacteria (shorturl.at/XXHpi)! A X-torial 👇 (1/11)

That’s a wrap for #ASBE7! Truly enjoyed all the wonderful oral and poster presentations, and so thankful to have had the opportunity to present the work from the #ReCREA lab in such a cool venue 🔭✨

Today, I had the honor to present some of my work at the University of Cordoba. Thank you @HenningKirst for the invitation and the hospitality! I am looking forward to collaborating on #Synbio #Sustainability & #BMCs in the near future.

Super interesting talk!! Thanks @SebWenk #UCOBioResearchSeminars #UCOBRS

Thrilled to present for the first time our glyoxylate & glycolate sensors to the #Synbio community at #ASBE7—an incredible first public reveal in a planetarium! Not every day you get to share science in such a unique venue. Looking forward to the other sessions' presentations!

This week, I had the opportunity to visit London and present my work @ #SynBio24 on the beautiful Welcome Trust Campus in Hinxton. A big shout out to the organisers @billerbeck_s @ProfTomEllis @DNARNAProtein01 @GallowayLabMIT! It was a BLAST!!!

Our last selected talk at #synbio24 is from PhD student Karin Schann from CNB CSIC, Spain 🇪🇸 who has engineered biosensor microbes for growth on formaldehyde

Time to hear about engineering E.coli to eat formate from Sebastian Wenk from the National Biotechnology Center in Spain 🇪🇸 #synbio24
