In the bubbling world of bioreactors, lonely Lactobacilli are searching for a perfect partner. Will it be strong and stable Cyanobacteria or resourceful Microalgae? We're seeking a PhD candidate to turn microbial matchmaking into productive co-cultures! - tinyurl.com/Alacto @leibnizinm.bsky.social

The @leibniz-gemeinschaft.de turns 30 this year! To celebrate, we are challenging ourselves to explain our research in a series of 30s clips. Here's the research of our Bioprogrammable Materials group, explained by @shrikrishnans.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/P1CeT... #science

If you're in Munich on Feb 26 & 27, meet us at LOPEC 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for printed electronics. We've got functional inks and coatings with unique conductive properties for advanced applications. Christoph, Mariano, Makara, & Albenc will be at booth B0.610 to amaze you!

Every year on Girls'Day (Mädchen-Zukunftstag), we open our doors to girls interested in science. This year, we're amazed by the enthusiasm with which the offered spots were filled super fast! 👧👧👧 We wish all participants lots of fun in our labs 🥼 🧫 🔬 www.girls-day.de/.oO/Show/inm...

"Engineered microbial living matter for diagnsotics, prevention, and therapy" doi.org/10.1016/j.co... new review article published by A. Khazem et al. in Current Opinion in Biotechnology 92 (2025) 103269

We're thrilled to have participated in the SynBioReactor Summit 2025 by @gasb-synbio.bsky.social in Berlin! It fostered amazing networking and discussions with the synthetic biology community! And best of all, congrats to Lara for winning the 1st prize in the pitch session with her In-Lens pitch! 🎉

Our workshop on Accelerated Research in Materials Science had more than just lectures. Here are some highlights of the day - youtube.com/shorts/qcs-U...

Coming soon - Episode 9 of Material Minds, a funny and fascinating conversation with Prof. Jilles Vreeken on how to get AI to propel scientific discoveries! But till then, you can check out some of our previous episodes in the 🧵below @shrikrishnans.bsky.social @larzvegaz.bsky.social

Science knows no gender—only curiosity, talent, and passion! Yet, women in research still face challenges. Today, we honor their achievements and encourage girls to pursue careers in science. 👩‍🔬 Let’s break down barriers and work together for a future where everyone has equal opportunities!

Today, we've assembled experts in automation and data science to learn and discuss how to accelerate research in materials science 🚀- www.leibniz-inm.de/en/events/ac... 🧵
