European Climate Pact – Event „Protein-based materials: A sustainable solution for our technological world?”
We are thrilled to announce the virtual European Climate Pact Satellite Event “Protein-based materials: A sustainable solution for our technological world?” supported by the EU project ARTIBLED (No 863170). The event will take place at 1st of October 2021 from 4-7 pm (CEST). International experts in Biotechnology, Synthetic Biology, and Energy will provide a critical vision about the current actions on protein-based technologies towards shaping a sustainable society. This will be followed by an open round stable discussion.
New group picture!
How fast time flies you can see on these pictures. Within a year, the team has more than doubled!!
The team around Prof. Costa now consists of 2 subgroup leaders, a technical assistant, 2 team assistants, 4 Postdocs, 10 PhD students and on average 2-4 Master/Bachelor students, as well as 2-4 Research-Internship students.
We are still hiring…do you want to be part of us?
New Team Members starting in September!
We are very pleased to welcome M.Sc. Marta Patrian und Dr. Mattia Nieddu to our team.
Marta, our new PhD Student will focus on designing new fluorescent proteins for energy related applications.
Mattia is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow. His research focuses on developing Bio-hybrid LEDs based on fluorescent protein-based nanomaterials.
Congratulations to Elisa for the new paper!
Congratulations to Elisa for the new paper on sustainable Copper (I) complexes for low-cost lighting systems based on light-emitting electrochemical cells. The advance article is highlighted in Dalton Transactions.
