Said a final goodbye to my bench at the MPI for Terrestrial Microbiology today. What a feeling @mpimicrobiomarburg.bsky.social
Very clean, very empty lab space that I am leaving behind. All in pretty white and with pipettes awaiting their new masterPeeling off my "this bench belongs to Beth" sign

Very happy to share my first preprint from my PhD 🎉 doi.org/10.64898/202... We develop an αHL-based framework to engineer and quantify selective diffusion across synthetic membranes using controlled nanopore chemistry. 1/7

Really enjoyed the 77th #MosbacherKolloquium ! Thanks to the organizers @gbmev.bsky.social for putting together such an amazing program and for giving me the chance to present my poster. To quote André Nadler: Membranes are great, science is great, and let's continue making discoveries! ;)

Just realized, that I have never posted my artwork on bluesky! So here are some of my favorite pieces I got to create during my PhD for different projects from @mpimicrobiomarburg.bsky.social What a journey it has been :)

With this, the last bit of my PhD at @embl.org is finally out! We developed salad (sparse all-atom denoising), a family of blazing fast protein structure diffusion models. Paper: nature.com/articles/s42256-… Code: github.com/mjendrusch/salad Data: zenodo.org/records/14711580 1/🧵

Excited to share a main project from my PhD, out now in @naturecomms.bsky.social! 📝 We've designed and brought to life the “CORE cycle” – a new-to-nature pathway that provides a novel route for biological CO2 capture 🦠🌱 nature.com/articles/s41... Take a look! Thread below... 🧵

Thrilled to have been part of the 76th Mosbacher Kolloquium! Huge thanks to @gbmev.bsky.social for organizing such an engaging conference! @anastasiagtz.bsky.so and I were excited to share our insights on differential transport across membranes, and we're truly honored to receive the poster award!

Really happy to share that our work on constructing six glyoxylate / glycolate sensors covering a three order of magnitude concentration range is out now in Nature Communications ! 🔥 Read below to see how we developed the sensors and what they are good for 🥳. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Super excited to see my main PhD project finally out in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41.... We show for the first time that a synthetic and engineered pathway can indeed exceed nature at one-carbon fixation.

An engineered one-carbon-fixation pathway increases biomass yields of Cupriavidus necator compared with the Calvin cycle and can support future, sustainable bio-based production.

New protein ML preprint from my PhD project. We describe salad (sparse all-atom denoising), a family of efficient protein structure diffusion models and show that it works well on a bunch of protein design task previously described in the literature. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/N)
Five generated protein structures coloured with a gradient from purple to teal. The structures are shaped and positioned to spell out the word "salad" – the name of the software described in the mentioned preprint – in all-capital letters.
