Great conference in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo

Successful participation of our research group in the XX National Conference on Biotechnology & Bioengineering of Mexico. It was the perfect opportunity to see great friends and colleagues. Congratulations to the Mexican Society of Biotechnology and Bioengineering for the excellent organization. We also thank Prof. Jorge Gracida for inviting us to give a keynote talk. We really enjoyed it! Here some nice pictures:

New experimental setups in our laboratory!

Official kick off for the experiments that will be performed in our laboratory this semester. 

Great stay in the University of Valencia

The last weeks we performed a research stay in the GI2AM Research Group of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Valencia. Many thanks for the hospitality of Prof. Carmen Gabaldón and all the GI2AM Group during our visit. We are looking forward to expand our collaboration with this great team in new research areas. Here some nice photos of the stay in the beautiful city of Valencia.

     

Toño's research stay in Valencia is ending...

Our PhD student Toño Contreras is ending his research stay in the Environmental Engineering Research Group GI2AM of the Universty of Valencia. Toño performed great experiments on anaerobic methane oxidation and made new friends. We thank Prof. Carmen Gabaldón and all GI2AM group for the hospitality and support for this project, which will strenghten our collaboration ties. Here some nice photos:

 

Great training in Valladolid

Our research group participated in the course "Biological Carbon Capture Technologies" organized by the Institute of Sustainable Processes of the University of Valladolid. Thanks to Chari Rodero and Raúl Muñoz for the warm welcome. The high research quality of the young generations is impressive! Here some nice photos:

New book chapter!

Our research group participated in this great chapter "A plausible scenario for the third generation of biofuels from microalgae" included in the book Green Approach to Alternative Fuel for a Sustainable Future (Elsevier). Many thanks to the Biorefinery Group for the invitation, specially to Rohit Saxena, Rossy Rodríguez-Jasso and Héctor Ruiz. It is always a pleasure to work with our colleagues from Autonomous University of Coahuila and Cristina González from IMDEA.

Great time in the 7ISEBE heldt in Marseille, France

We enjoyed the 7th International Symposium on Environmental Biotechnology and Engineering (7ISEBE) in Marseille, France. Nice to see great friends and share the work we are doing in the Gas Phase Engineering Research Group. Our PhD student Toño Contreras won the prize for the best oral presentation of the conference... congratulations Toño! 

Here some nice photos:

 

New paper published in Chemical Engineering Journal

Proud to share our last paper published in Chemical Engineering Journal. In this work, the N-AOM process is proposed as a feasible technology to treat methane dissolved in anaerobic effluents, whose discharge without any treatment leads to greenhouse gas emissions in waste management facilities. Have a look on this nice collaborative work with the Microbial Ecology Lab (IIBCE Clemente Estable, Uruguay), GI2AM research Group (ETSE-UV, Spain) and the Gas Phase Engineering Research Group.

Our group welcome Tengge Zhang from Penn State University

We are happy to receive Tengge Zhang in the Gas Phase Engineering Research Group. Tengge is a PhD student of the Water-Environment-Sustainability lab led by Prof. Meng Wang at Pennsylvania State University. She will perform a research stay in our lab. Welcome Tengge!

   

Great time in Tec de Monterrey talking about scaling-up of bioreactors

We thank the kind invitation of Professors Ivonne Figueroa and Edgar Noé Tec from the Department of Bioengineering at Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Querétaro to talk about scaling-up of biological processes. Super happy to see the enthusiastic participation of the students. Here some nice pictures:
