Coco and Rinke presented at NWO-Life 2019

We were represented well at the first edition of the multidisciplinary congress for life scientists: NWO Life 2019. Coco presented the three different methods that she developed to measure bacterial responses to antibiotics. Checkerboards, fermentors and droplets: Coco uses all of them to distinguish who invades, who resides, and who persists. Given that similar bacteria

In press: Rate maximisation makes the most complex microbes behave simple!

Our theoretical work on rate maximisation in metabolism has been published in Plos Computational Biology. In this work, we took a very general approach to ask a very specific question: we included genome-scale metabolic networks, complicated enzyme kinetics, and arbitrary constraints on enzyme expression, and then asked what metabolism looks like for a microorganism that

In press: Dennis’ extensive characterisation of Fluorescent protein behaviour in yeast is published!

Dennis’ work on the behaviour of fluorescent proteins (FPs) in baker’s yeast has been published! With the help of Daan de Groot and Phillipp Schmidt, a variety of fluorescent proteins were characterised for various properties, including brightness, photobleaching, photochromism, day-to-day variation and monomerism. Many FPs showed different performance in yeast compared to previous characterisations done

Julia wins photo competition at the End-of-Summer drinks.

Although the weather still gives the idea that summer didn’t end yet, we had end-of-summer drinks last week. It was a nice get-together and many people joined for a drink and a chat.. The drinks were accompanied by a photo competition with 21 entries. During the drinks the photos were hanging on the wall for

DAAN DE GROOT WINT NK IN SPIJKENISSE

7-10-2018 Het NK Duathlon werd vandaag een prooi voor Daan de Groot. De Groot trok tijdens het fietsen de wedstrijd naar zich toe. Bij de mannen ging Wesley Mols na het startschot er direct hard vandoor, om met een ruime marge aan het fietsen te kunnen beginnen. Achter hem maakte De Groot samen met Hellas-ploeggenoot

Bas in action: Outdoor teaching as part of the ActieWeek ‘WOinActie’

Bas recently gave one of his lectures on the campus square as part the ActieWeek ‘WOinActie’ (#WOinActie). This week of protest was an initiative to raise awareness for the workload and lack of funding in Higher Education. Read more about this initiative at https://www.scienceguide.nl/2018/09/een-dure-deken/ (in Dutch) – an opinion piece of AIMMS professor Paola Gori

Two papers published by Sebastián

Two papers about genome-scale reconstruction and analysis were published by Sebastián Mendoza in March 20th and May 23th. These articles are entitled “Mapping the Physiological Response of Oenococcus oeni to Ethanol Stress Using an Extended Genome-Scale Metabolic Model” and “Traceability, reproducibility and wiki-exploration for “à-la-carte” reconstructions of genome-scale metabolic models“, respectively. Both papers were submitted while Sebastián
