Excited to share our latest preprint! Oftentimes, interesting stories start as a puzzling observation in the lab, and that was definitely the case here. We combined kinetic analysis, mass spectrometry, and computational modeling to solve this mystery! Grateful for the collaboration!

🥳🥳🥳 Our study on engineering enzymes to break C–F bonds is out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social. Congrats to the brilliant & dedicated @suzannejansen.bsky.social for taking this step toward the remediation of #PFAS & other contaminating organofluorides! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Engineering Fluoroacetate Dehalogenase by Growth‐Based Selections on Non‐Natural Organofluorides
We present a high-throughput selection system to engineer fluoroacetate dehalogenases (FAcDs). By challenging E. coli populations that produce diverse FAcD libraries to grow on non-natural organofluo....

Had an excellent time at #NWOCHAINS 2025. It's always nice to see the huge diversity in chemistry research in the Netherlands! I am lucky to be part of it.

Well worth a read by @kashhill.bsky.social & @dylanfreedman.nytimes.com: everyday users risk spiraling into delusions during long AI chatbot sessions. Anyone who’s worked with AI knows this is inevitable without strong guardrails. #AI #GenAI #MentalHealth #EthicalAI #ResponsibleAI #AIRisk

Chatbots Can Go Into a Delusional Spiral. Here’s How It Happens.
Over 21 days of talking with ChatGPT, an otherwise perfectly sane man became convinced that he was a real-life superhero. We analyzed the conversation.

With #PFAS and other organofluorides wreaking havoc, we set out to engineer natural defluorinases for man-made organofluorides. All credit goes to the amazing @suzannejansen.bsky.social, who has outdone herself in this project! (1/5) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Preprint alert! With #PFAS contamination becoming an environmental crisis, we dared to engineer natural defluorinases towards degradation of (un)natural organofluorides. How? Check out our robust growth-based selection platform here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... thanks to @mayerlab.bsky.social !

Had an excellent and inspiring time at NWO Life 2025, fascinating to see how Life science affects so many different research subjects! It's fun to see how Darwinism is still very much alive in these circles 😛

I've been selected as a speaker at #NWOlife2025 on May 28th! Sneak peek: how can we use life (or death) to elicit better defluorinating enzymes toward organofluorine degradation? Looking forward to discuss all the interesting ways that life is involved in your research!
