New publication from the lab in Nature Communications
We discovered how novel marine microorganisms interact via geoconductors to produce methane.See publication here: Genome-centric metagenomics reveals electroactive syntrophs in a conductive particle-dependent consortium from coastal sedimentsSee a press release here. It is especially exciting, since it is the first first-author paper of my former PhD student Danijel Jovicic...
Rhitu and Kostas appointed as Assistant Professors
Congratulations to Rhitu Kotoky and Konstantinos Anestis on their promotions to Assistant Professors from April 1, 2026. In their new roles within the Microbial Bioelectrochemical Methanation Initiative, they will help lead key work packages and supervise two PhD students. Wishing them both every success in this important new career...
Amelia Secures 50 Million DKK from the Novo Nordisk Foundation for the Microbial Electrochemical Methanation Initiative
Our lab has been awarded a 50 million DKK grant by the Novo Nordisk Foundation for the Microbial Electrochemical Methanation Initiative, led by Amelia. This ambitious project aims to develop cutting-edge biotechnologies to convert waste into methane under controlled conditions, integrating experimental evolution, bioelectrochemistry, omics, and engineering to deliver...
Amelia Awarded 13 Million DKK Semper Ardens Accomplish Grant by the Carlsberg Foundation
Amelia has been awarded a 13 million DKK Semper Ardens Accomplish grant by the Carlsberg Foundation. The grant will support research into the role of extracellular nucleic acids, particularly extracellular RNA, in intra- and interspecies communication. This project follows up on the work from our lab led by Dr....
