An Improved Fast-Growing Halophilic haloarchaeon Strain

The Challenge: Halophilic archaea (HA) are ideal for biotechnological processes because they thrive in extreme conditions, requiring minimal sterility and no freshwater. However, unlike other microorganisms like fungi, algae, and bacteria, HA are underutilized in large-scale biotechnology. Currently, HA are mostly used for producing carotenoids, like bacterioruberin, and other high-value compounds. The primary species used, […] Read More >

Discovery of a Virus That Threatens The Rainbow Trout Aquaculture

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykissis) is a North Pacific salmonid species, which, in the Western hemisphere, is the principal inland-farmed fish. In terms of production, global rainbow trout reached 600,000 tons in 2012; by 2019, it had exceeded 950,000 tons. Recently, we discovered a novel and ongoing disease in farmed rainbow trout, the hallmark of which […] Read More >

Development of Improved Peptide Inhibitors of the HIF/PHD Interaction – Anemia and HIF – Related Diseases

Modern drugs are molecules that interfere with the activity of a specific protein related to a target disease. Within this realm, new molecules capable of interfering with protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are in the heart of modern drug discovery. However, the discovery or de-novo design of new molecules is often hampered by the lack of structural […] Read More >

A Dedicated Hardware for Accelerating Whole Cell Simulations of mRNA Translation for Various Biotechnological Pharma Applications

Gene expression (is a fundamental process defining all type of life where information encoded in the genetic material is used for generating proteins. Gene expression is a multi-steps process mediated by millions of intracellular biological machines (e.g. RNA polymerases, transcription factors, ribosomes, tRNAs, miRNAs), with complex interactions among them. Recently, intracellular biophysical simulations of gene […] Read More >

A Generic Approach Constructing an Evolutionary Stable Genetic Circuit

Any genetic circuit engineered in any organism will cause a huge metabolic load on its host, compiling the organism to manufacture numerous proteins against his own benefit thus greatly decreasing its fitness. Random mutations that arise during normal DNA replication or during DNA damage repair dictate that it’s unavoidable outcome that the genetic circuit will […] Read More >

Fuels and other valuable compounds from biomass and agricultural wastes using Hydrothermal Liquefaction

• The growth of human population increases both the overall energy demand and the environmental footprint in the form of a massive production of waste.  • Currently energy production and waste treatment are viewed as two separate issues. To change this perspective, the synergy of organic waste conversion and energy production should be developed.• Various […] Read More >

MACHINE VISION SYSTEM FOR LARVAL FISH REARING

Most marine fish hatch from mm-size eggs irrespective of adult size, and suffer prodigious mortality (rates of 70-90% of the brood) in the first weeks of their lives. This mortality makes the rearing of larval (very young) fish costly, and an impediment for introducing new species to the growth cycle. We propose an automated system, […] Read More >

Plant Biosensor and Innate Immunity laboratory

We explore and consolidate the novel idea of plant-based sensors, a new approach where the plants are used as sensors and the output is based directly on the plant response. Our biosensor is composed of amalgamated technology, comprising a biological component- the plant itself, and an electrical or optical component- a sensing modality that includes […] Read More >
