Congratulations to Adele Pioppi for submitting her PhD thesis on rhizosphere microbiomes, the last PhD work at DTU
- funded by the #NNF_INTERACT and performed at DTU Bioengineering 🇩🇰 and #LeidenBiology / @leidenscience.bsky.social 🇳🇱
Here is the published version of Manca's #NNF_INTERACT project in #ISMEcommunications from Scott Jarmusch and @neftalyl.bsky.social

New preprint from the lab by Adele Pioppi on her #NNF_INTERACT project
Successive cultivation under drought selects for specific microbiome members in the wheat rhizosphere
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Started as a simple project, it worked out being a "rubber boot microbiologist" (as @lonegram.bsky.social always calls it)
The projects were made possible by @cemist.bsky.social from @dg.dk, in addition to subsequent CSC, BGI-DTU, and #NNF_INTERACT of @novo-nordisk.bsky.social funding

This DTU Bioengineering-BGI Group joint PhD was motivated by the vision of @cemist.bsky.social for exploring the biosynthetic potential of this group of soil organisms. Financial support by @dg.dk and #NNF_INTERACT @novo-nordisk.bsky.social is acknowledged

I realised that I never made pictures with Bartje on the other side of the main DTU building… so here it is, back to DTU for the PhD defence of Caja Dinesen - an #NNF_INTERACT project on Bacillus secondary metabolites
Happy to share an excelent work from @neftalyl.bsky.social's PhD thesis published in #ISMEJournal @ismepublications.bsky.social

Xinming's PhD position was funded by a CSC fellowship, along with support from #cemist_dtu of #GrundforskFond and #NNF_INTERACT of #novonordiskfond
Mark position was financed by a DTU Alliance PhD fellowship, while the project received financial support from #cemist_dtu of #GrundforskFond and #NNF_INTERACT by #novonordiskfond

Congratulations to Caja Dinesen for submitting her PhD thesis on Microbial signaling and secondary metabolites
Project funded via #NNF_INTERACT from #novonordiskfond
#secondarymetabolites #cropresiliency #MicrobiomeEcology
Project done at #DTUbioengineer and #LeidenBiology
This work is a collaborative work between the #novonordiskfond funded #NNF_INTERACT project in my group & #cemist_dtu of #GrundforskFond supported by a NNF Infrastructure grant "Imaging microbial language in biocontrol"
Xinli was supported by a China Scholarship Council fellowship, while lab work at DTU was supported by #CeMiSt_dtu (by #GrundforskFond) and #NNF_INTERACT (by #NovoNordiskfond)
Note: project included the lock down periods in Denmark and later in China, but finally shared here
