19.03.2026 Interview of Dr. Tomás Páscoa with Forschungscampus Mittelhessen

Dr. Tomás Páscoa gives insights into the research he is conducting in the research group of Dr. Jan Schuller at SYNMIKRO and how it contributes to the goals of M4C.

Dr. Tomás Páscoa, a postdoctoral researcher in the Lab of Dr. Jan Schuller at SYNMIKRO, talks about his research and how it contributes to the goals of M4C

Dr. Tomás Páscoa is a postdoctoral researcher in structural biology at the Center for Synthetic Microbiology (SYNMIKRO) at the University of Marburg. He has led the charge in establishing the method of cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) in the research group of Dr. Jan Schuller to analyze proteins and cellular structures in their native environment. By generating three-dimensional reconstructions of the cellular interior, researchers can gain unprecedented insights into how microorganisms and their metabolisms respond and adapt to environmental change. These insights, he explains, will contribute to various interdisciplinary projects at SYNMIKRO and may ultimately unlock synthetic biological solutions to large-scale challenges such as climate change, making it a invaluable source for research projects conducted in the M4C cosmos.
