A very Corpus collaboration that results in new research published in nature on 'hacking' photosynthesis by Tomi Baikie Laura T. Wey et al Jenny Zhang Howe Lab 2 of 2 Cambridge University bit.ly/42x8djK

How early can we steal electrons from photosynthesis for renewables applications? Our work on ultrafast spectroscopy and electrochemistry is out now in nature. Here’s a summary of our findings … 1/12 nature.com/articles/s4158… ⚡️Artwork by Robin

Close to the end of my exciting time in Photosynthetic Microbes group Turun yliopisto - University of Turku, it was great to present my work on cytochrome c6A and its evolution at the Plant Unit Seminar. I’m usually a bit nervous before giving talks but during, I realise it’s one of the most fun parts of the job!

How can we engineer photosynthesis? Read the new Review by Jenny Zhang Howe Lab et al, discussing how electrons from photosynthetic electron transport chains can be rewired for solar-powered electricity generation and chemical synthesis Cambridge University nature.com/articles/s4422…

Photosynthetic electron transport chains can be 'rewired' for solar-powered electricity and chemical production. Check out our Nature Reviews Bioengineering review for insights into this exciting research field ☀️🌱⚡️🧪 #Photosynthesis #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability rdcu.be/dj6CW

Chris Howe (Howe Lab ) gave a lecture and unveiled a new plaque outside the Eagle pub recognising the contributions of Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins to the discovery of the structure of DNA, as well as Crick and Watson 70 years ago: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Oxford really outdid itself to welcome us for #PlastidPreview 2023! Beautiful sunshine, beautiful New College, Oxford and beautiful science. I had fun presenting my project and wanted to thank the organisers Jani Reddy Bolla Jarvis Lab! #photosynthesis

Great #PlastidPreview conference at New College, Oxford, Oxford! The Howe lab delegation enjoyed the science and hospitality (see our group picture under the famous Harry Potter tree!) Special congrats to Bartosz Witek for winning a poster prize!

As a tradition in the Howe Lab we have a day out at least once a year (aka ‘lab jolly‘). Today, we visited the historic and pretty #FramlinghamCastle (managed by English Heritage) and refuelled with food and local ales after!

We are very pleased to invite applications for an exciting new position of Professor of Synthetic Biology or Engineering Biology. Come and work with us and our EngBio IRC group to build bridges across Cambridge University. More details here: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/43556/

Here is a preprint of a cyanobacteria and light-activated extracellular electron transfer (exoelectrogenesis) story from my PhD. Removing the exopolysaccharides around the cells increased the photo-current we could harvest from them ☀️🟢⚡️

I’m having a fun time ePS2_2024 in Padova, speaking about photosynthesis and my soon-to-be-done PhD project on cytochrome c6A. Just before I got to explore the botanic garden as well and here’s a cool tree for you to admire 🌳

Congrats to our PhD student Darius for winning a poster prize at the European Congress for Photosynthesis Research!

Thanks so much to the Joint Colloids Group for selecting me for this award!

Here's something a little different to our usual research. In our new perspective out now in Applied Phycology (The British Phycological Society), we describe how you can use the electrical signals of algae to generate music 🦠⚡️🎵. 🧵1/12 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

A summary from Josh on our latest work on making music with algae!

Our latest preprint is out now! I’ve done a full thread breaking it down over at my new home- bsky.app/profile/jmlawr…

A paper published in Current Biology by Alberto Scarampi and colleagues in Howe Lab adds significantly to our understanding of bacterial evolution by showing how #cyanobacteria can rapidly develop resistance to a #herbicide. Read more: bioc.cam.ac.uk/news/howe-grou…
