It was an honor to speak with Prof. Vlado Perkovic, the principal investigator of the FLOW study. Have you heard about semaglutide -𝘖𝘻𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘤, 𝘙𝘺𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘶𝘴, 𝘞𝘦𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘺-? Listen to the recording to learn more in this insightful session. ➡ https://lnkd.in/eCiDMGDJ

Join my presentation on the fields of application of the Celsis Rapid Microbial Detection System at Labor LS and our strategies during the implementation and validation of the different methods. Looking forward to see you in Kaarst.

Excited to be a judge for the #LatinXChemEng category at #LatinXChem24 on Oct 14-15, a collab category between LatinXChem and LatinXinChE. Submit your work and win cash prizes for best poster in our category! https://lnkd.in/gQnuid-z What is #LatinXChem? LatinXChem is a virtual forum through which the community of Latin American chemists located anywhere in the world can share and discuss their research results and advances. More than 1200 posters from 43 countries were received in its first version, with 20 million impacts on Twitter. The fifth event organized by LatinXChem will be the #LatinXChem23 Conference (October 14 and 15, 2024). Advantages: You can participate whether you work at home or in the laboratory. Being a virtual event, you do not need to travel, the costs decrease substantially, without demerit to the quality of the work or to the scientific discussion they will generate. Additionally, its environmental footprint is lower. For each category, the best works will be selected for an award. Our sponsors will deliver prizes (book vouchers) for 100-200 USD. The best poster overall for the event will be awarded a special prize (150 USD) and one prize for the most popular work (150 USD). Follow-up Steps: Posters can be presented in Spanish, Portuguese, or English. Tweet your poster. Include the title, abstract, your category hashtag, and the main event hashtag (#LatinXChem24) at 12:00 pm (UTC) on October 14, 2024; The event will last 48 hours. Discuss and share your work on any social media. Make sure to respond to questions from the community and juries. Choose any dimension or format for your poster: the important point is that the text and figures are legible. We strongly recommend visualizing it on Twitter before the conference.

I'm delighted to announce that this week we learnt that Celignis was successful in 4 project proposals submitted for funding to the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) programme. These projects will provide funding of 1.6m EUR to Celignis over the next few years and build upon the 3 projects (worth 1.5m EUR) we secured last year and the 4 previous CBE/BBI projects that Celignis participated in. We look forward to an exciting few years as we collaborate with our consortium partners on further advancing the bioeconomy!

I will talk about this and other single carbon substrates for biotechnology at the International Congress on Yeasts in Cape Town (29 Sept - 3 Oct). Yeast people, if you are not registered yet, there is still the opportunity. Also for poster abstract submission: www.icy2024.com #yeast #biotechnology

Symeres News! 📰 Our colleague, Peter Molenveld, celebrated his 25th anniversary with Symeres this year! Peter was interviewed to share about his time with Symeres and his growth from a chemist to leadership within the organization, as well as about his role as secretary at the Royal Netherlands Chemical Society (KNCV). Want to learn more about Peter's journey within Symeres and his professional career as a chemist? Read the interview here: https://lnkd.in/daQmkm9K

Here I share our latest JACS publication (https://lnkd.in/eiZ2KgC5) — our truly collaborative work with the Jana Roithova group from Radboud University, Nijmegen, ! We combined our expertise to uncover a new reaction yielding a tricyclic pyridinium compound, a scaffold commonly found in natural products and bioactive compounds. Notably, this single reaction forms multiple bonds, enabling the construction of an entire pyridine ring from scratch via a peroxide intermediate—a structure that had only been hypothesized until now but is now directly observed and characterized. Our work showcases online mass spectrometry, led by the Roithová group, as a powerful tool for identifying and characterizing new reactivities in complex mixtures. The ability to detect trace byproducts and convert them into exclusive products opens exciting opportunities for accelerating the discovery of new reactions. Congratulations to all co-authors: Johanan Kootstra, Jaya Mehara, Marieke Veenstra, Maëlle Le Cacheux, Luca Enrico Oddone E. Oddone, and Aleksandr Y. Pereverzev!
