2018

The lab has been very lively this year! We had so many things happened and happening this year. Yet, it’s very hard to believe this year is ending already…!!

We got many new talents joining the team. (Welcome again, Jonatan, Segun, Brannon, Manjari and Dmitry!)

We started a spinout company and secured funding for the company! (Hooray!)

Two papers under review. (fingers are crossed….!)

Many exciting data and ideas are being accumulated. (Stay tuned!)

Wishing all the best for the rest of 2018 and the coming new year for everyone!

Bacterial physiology returns

A new review paper with Christian Zerfaß and Orkun Soyer is now available online!

"Interrogating metabolism as an electron flow system"

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452310018300829?via%3Dihub

Special Congrats to Christian!

In this piece of work, we argue that seeing metabolism as a thermodynamically driven electron flow system offers many fundamental insights. If you have learnt metabolisms with pathway-centric view and you think metabolism is boring, you will be surprised!! Metabolism is a super exciting research topic!!

see also this article from 1995.
