As part of the Marie Curie Doctoral Network ARCTECH, our lab is recruiting two motivated PhD students to investigate the structure, function, and biotechnological applicability of archaeal cell surface proteins. To apply, go to jobs.exeter.ac.uk and search for ARCTECH.

Happy to share that our work engineering cellulose-producing bacteria to grow light-induced patterns and make melanin to grow black leather-like materials is now published OA in Nature Biotechnology > Study led by the amazing Marcus Walker Marcus Walker nature.com/articles/s4158…

📢Our review on Lrs14 chromatin-organizing proteins in #Sulfolobales in Mol Microbiol is out now!
🧬We propose that Lrs14s, with their unique DNA-binding properties, regulate global gene expression upon stress.
