Delighted to have written this review alongside my former PhD supervisors, Diego Orzaez and Marta Vazquez-Vilar, where we discuss how synthetic gene circuits can unlock the full potential of N. benthamiana as a programmable plant biofactory 🌱🎮

Happy to share the new article from my former lab at IBMCP — the final chapter of my PhD!
We optimized geminivirus-based vectors for the controlled expression of recombinant proteins in plants, using autobioluminescence as a real-time reporter 💡🧬🌱

Inspiring time at @ismpmi.bsky.social, where I had the honour of sharing my PhD work on repurposing viruses for plant biomanufacturing. It was great to reconnect with old friends (special shoutout to @geminiteamlab.bsky.social 💚) and meet so many researchers pushing plant–microbe science forward 🌱🧬🧫
