Doctoral student Alīna Reķēna presented at 7th Applied Synthetic Biology in Europe
Leave a commentLeave a comment

On 6-8th November, Bioengineering doctoral student Alīna Reķēna presented her work at 7th Applied Synthetic Biology in Europe in Brno, Czech republic. 

She gave a delightful feedback: “I am very satisfied with the participation at ASBE7 conference, where I presented our work with CRISPR to uncover lipid synthesis mechanisms in Rhodotorula toruloides: a nonconventional host for microbial lipids and oleochemicals for circular economy. ASBE7 featured a fantastic venue in Brno Planetarium and Observatory with a great atmosphere. Selection of talks covered topics from microbial and mammalian to cell-free synthesis platforms. Many great talks offered by the generous programme of wide range of topics for everyone to find their favorite. I want to acknowledge the Estonian Doctoral School for the financial support to attend the conference.”

Henrique and Katharina participated at Engineering Living Materials Conference
Leave a commentLeave a comment

Our doctoral student Henrique and visiting Master´s student Katharina participated in the 4th Engineered Living Materials conference in Saarbrücken, Germany. They presented current work done in the Bioengineering Group on biocontainment and novel matrix formation in hydrogels, respectively. The conference not only dealt with the technical aspects of the discipline, but also had a discussion on public outreach and regulatory hurdles to overcome for further development within the field. Participants got a better understanding of the ongoing research and the bottlenecks we all need to excel to grow our ideas further. In several interesting talks, new advances and inspiring ideas in the highly interdisciplinary field were shared. Some of Katharina´s highlights included alternative textiles from bacterial cellulose, fungi-based and biomineralized building materials and toxin-sensing materials.

PhD student Alīna Rekēna visits MIT
Leave a commentLeave a comment

PhD student Alīna Rekēna recently visitied MIT in the USA to meet our collaboration partners at the Voigt Lab and participate in project update meetings. The Bioengineering lab is engaged in an ongoing collaborative project  focused on the environmental release of engineered bacteria in Soviet Estonia. The visit facilitated deeper collaboration and explored opportunities for TalTech – MIT student exchanges. Additionally, Alīna had the opportunity to present her own research activities and discuss upcoming project initiatives. The dedication and innovation at MIT are truly inspiring to spark new ideas for future work.

We are now looking forward to the kick-off meeting of the project in Tallinn on 23-24th September at the Estonian Academy of Arts. This gathering will be a valuable contribution to the project, where we aim to explore and integrate diverse perspectives on biotechnology’s role in historical and contemporary contexts.
