🎶 All we want for Christmas is… ✨ groundbreaking research 🌍 increase archaeal community 🦠 new archaeal insights From all of us at ARCTECH, wishing you a restful, inspiring, and science-filled Christmas 🎄✨🔬 #ARCTECH #HorizonEurope #PhDLife #Archaea #ChristmasInScience

🎉We’re thrilled to share an update from the Online #ARCTECH PhD Meetings! The last sessions focused on two exciting themes: archaeal viruses and archaeal biofilms. ✨Thanks to all speakers and participants for driving archaeal research forward! #ARCTECH #archaea #researchcommunity #HorizonEurope

Recently we held our biannual ARCTECH meeting — usually in person, but online this time. PhD researchers and PIs shared progress, results, and insights that keep the project moving forward. 🔬🤝 #ARCTECH #ScienceCommunity #PhDLife #ResearchUpdate

📍 ARTECH Midterm Meeting – Essen, Germany Last month, the PhD candidates of #ARCTECH received hands-on training on biofilm cultivation in thermophilic #archaea at Uni Duisburg-Essen. A great week of #science, collaboration & inspiration! Thanks to all who made it happen. 🌍🔬🙌

Congrats to Ankita Banerjee from @archaellum.bsky.social's lab & #ARCTECH for winning the VAAM poster award! 🏆 She studies how Sulfolobus acidocaldarius protects itself from UV damage using pili & DNA exchange- understanding archaeal stress responses! #VAAM2025 #Microbiology #Archaea #ScienceWins

Why are Haloarchaea so colorful? Their pictorial hues come from carotenoid pigments like bacterioruberin & beta-carotene. These not only create stunning pink & orange tones but also protect the cells from UV & oxidative stress. Likewise, they hold exciting biotech potential! #ARCTECH #Microbiology

The S-layer is a crystalline protein coat found at the cell envelope of most #archaea, forming a hexagonal symmetry resulting in geometric pores. These self-assembling structures have exciting potential for #nanotechnology! The stunning images were provided by the Daum lab. #ARCTECH #microbiology

We, from the ArcTech project, would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a fantastic start into 2025!🎄💫 Thank you for following us and for your support! #ARCTECH #Archaea #Microorganisms #Microbiology #Biotechnology #Innovation #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #Biotech #EuropeanResearch

Here is a shoutout to @quaxlab.bsky.social, who is an amazing collaborator on this project and just joined BlueSky. 🦠🔬Wellcome Tessa! #ArchaeaSky @archaeabiotech.bsky.social

Exciting news! 🚀 We're launching #ARCTECH, the first EU-funded MSCA Doctoral Network focused on #archaea —a fascinating and resilient domain of life with great #biotech potential. By addressing key gaps in archaeal research, we aim to unlock the vast potential of these #microorganisms. 🦠🔬
