What a surprise! 🎉Our new Algems Algenuity arrived earlier than we were expecting. Now we have 30 of these nice bioreactors to play around - especially with our local #ksa #microalgae 😎 Excited to see them working soon 🧪🥼 #algae #KAUSTResearch

Yep, I'm thrilled with my new “toys”. The goal is to have them all working full of #microalgae by the end of the week 🧪🥼💪

Such a nice green 🧪🥼 #Extremophilic C. merolae adapted to the Red Sea water ready to grow in algem bioreactors 💪 This is one of the steps for scale-up this #red #alga #microalgae

Our Algenuity bioreactor upgrade. KAUST Research now holds the title of having the most Algenuity photo bioreactors of any lab in the world 🌍 can’t wait to see what we can do with them 💪🦠🧪

Check this out! This is the only lab where you will see 30 algem photo bioreactors working 💚🥼 It's so exciting to be able to grow 18 local #ksa #microalgae and 12 flasks of #extremophilic C. merolae at the same time with different conditions

Little pleasures of being a morning person - you have the lab all for you for a few hours 😎🥼💚 #microalgae #algae

Working with Sebastian Overmans, PhD and Bárbara Freitas he was able to test the extraction of extracellular botryococcenes from #botryococcus algae.

Some days, we turn on and turn off the lights in the lab 🥼💪😎 And this is how we do science 💚 #science #microalgae #algae #KAUSTResearch

Hard work by Diedrich (non-tweeter) & the DAB-KSA @KAUSTinnovation (BeaconDev) وزارة البيئة والمياه والزراعة team. He grew Cyanidioschyzon merolae to 1000 L, harvested and made freeze-dried biomass with Bárbara Freitas ! Final yields to come soon, but great to have the biomass!!

As someone deeply involved and in love with our KSA Algae Living Library, I'm thrilled to celebrate #SaudiFoundingDay With over 95 algal strains and counting, it's a testament to our dedication to unlocking the Kingdom's biotechnological potential #algae #AlgaeResearch

Woke up yesterday with 1,000 citations. That's so cool 😍🎉 I know this is not a huge number, but it recognizes my hard work and research within the scientific community. I am grateful for the support and collaboration that made this possible. #Science #algae #foodscience

Welcoming one more Brazilian to the team 😎💪

I don't get tired of those reactors ❤️👩🏻‍🔬 It has been a while since my last post about them, and now we have improved our setup with connections with a headspace analyzer. So, exciting results are on their way 😎 #ksa #microalgae #algae

When Bárbara Freitas and Sebastian Overmans, PhD both have experiments at the same time, our Algenuity photobioreactors get a workout. #algae #Biotechnology KAUST KAUST Research KAUST BESE

Last week I had the pleasure of working at Kyle J. Lauersen lab and learning about algae characterisation and cultivation. Big thanks to Bárbara Freitas for helping and teaching me everything 💕🙏🏼 Till we meet again KAUST #algae #Biology #KAUST #phdlife

Is it hard to say if I love what I do? 💚 Not really! Back to the lab (and back here) after maternity leave - now officially an algae mom and a baby girl mom! ❤️ Excited for this new chapter in science and life! #microalgae #algae

Super proud of the SSB team at #AlgalBBB 🦠 in Phoenix. Great meeting with lots of new ideas & networking. Talks from myself & Bárbara Freitas, Mauricio LPM & Melany had posters (+flash talk) & Melany won the Top Poster Award🥇! KAUST BESE
