The new edition of our annual list of Climate Tech Companies to Watch will feature startups and established businesses working to decarbonize transportation, heavy industry, energy, and more.

Ever wondered where your paracetamol comes from? Spoiler: crude oil. In this study – led by Nick Johnson from our lab in collaboration with @astra-zeneca.bsky.social – we show how biology and chemistry can work together to create a more sustainable alternative. (1/n) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚀 Our new lab website is live! Visit wallacelab.bio to learn more about our team, our mission, and our latest work. Most importantly, get in touch to explore opportunities to connect and collaborate. The future of chemistry is microbial.

Great news – this paper has now been published in ACS Catalysis! Huge congratulations again to Wylan (@chaoticmetazoan.bsky.social), and thanks to our collaborators in the Wallace Lab (@swallacelab.bsky.social) Check it out here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

From the same team that made vanilla for ice cream using E.coli that digest plastic waste.

Prof. Stephen Wallace: “What this technology shows is that by merging chemistry and biology in this way for the first time, we can make paracetamol more sustainably and clean up plastic waste from the environment at the same time.” www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
