Protein language models are revolutinizing protein engineering and design. Our goal is to apply them for #enzyme discovery and design for the degradation of plastic polymers

In the #aircraft industry, paint stripping relies on hazardous chemicals, with an estimated global consumption of 2k tons/year. We aim at circularize this process: eliminate waste while redesigning the entire cycle

A bacterium that degrades and assimilates poly(ethylene terephthalate) Two specialized enzymes from a newly isolated bacterium break down plastic into its simplest building blocks. [Also see Perspective by Bornscheuer]

"Some bacteria think plastic is fantastic" The first #enzyme degrading #PET, found in bacteria isolated near a bottle recycling site, is one of our references on the road to complex polymer degradation 👉 shre.ink/Auep #AtracciónTalento @comunidadmadrid.bsky.social #BIORE2AIRCRAFT

🤔Did you know that there are communities of #extremophiles living in the aircraft tanks bearing extreme temperatures in presence of kerosene? These microbes are one of the targets to study in our project #BIORE2AIRCRAFT. Learn more👉 acortar.link/QIIJMQ

The #DeepLearningBCNSymposium2025 took place last Wednesday in CosmoCaixaBCN, and gathered edge investigation in Artificial Intelligence. We learned new methods and strategies useful in the #BIORE2AIRCRAFT project, aimed at designing organic polymers and composite materials-degrading extremozymes.

We keep going forward to our final goal for the degradation of aircraft polymers within the #BIORE2AIRCRAFT project: Last week we discussed first preliminary results✈️

Rafael Bargiela, IP of the #BIORE2AIRCRAFT project (“César Nombela” Talent Atraction Grant, Comunidad de Madrid), talks about #GenRewire: "It will give us the opportunity to redesigning microbes' indigenous enzymes for polymers degradation" How? Here 👉 shre.ink/tni3

This year Biotec's congress is hosted by the @UABBarcelona. Prof. Manuel Ferrer and Dr. Fadia Cervantes joined this event organized by #Sebiot, showing the work done to achieve a more sustainable world♻️🗺️ #futurenzyme #nymphe #PRTR @ageinves.bsky.social #MomentumCSIC #CAM #BioMachine #BIORE2AIRCRAFT

About las week...#Biotrans2025 was amazing!Our group presented 2 posters showing the work done to fight #plastic contamination.Inspiring lectures, reunions with colleagues, and new friends are ensured in this symposium!😍 #BioMachine #BIORE2AIRCRAFT #NympheEU #FuturEnzyme #PRTR @icp-csic.bsky.social

Estamos muy contentos de anunciar a nuestro nuevo doctorando José María González! 🥳Ha empezado a trabajar con nosotros en el proyecto #BIORE2AIRCRAFT (Ayudas de Atracción de Talento “César Nombela”, Comunidad de Madrid). Su trabajo se centrará en análisis bioinformáticos para ingeniería enzimática💻

Nuestro nuevo proyecto #BIORE2AIRCRAFT tiene como objetivo descubrir y diseñar nuevas #enzimas procedentes de #extremófilos 🦠 para degradar y reciclar polímeros de los revestimientos de los aviones! Proyecto financiado por la #ComunidadMadrid, Ayudas para la Atracción de Talento "César Nombela"
