What an amazing meeting #bostonbacterial22 has been! We would like to thank, our 2022 co-chairs Suyen Espinoza, PhD and @Jenna_Wurster, the organizing committee, and all of our attendees for creating a wonderful & engaging environment for science! THANK YOU!

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just reversed nearly 50 years of precedent and overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the federal constitutional right to abortion. We won't deny what a horrible moment this is. Half of the states are expected to ban abortion.

I am pleased to release the EBRC “Synthetic Biology and Machine Learning” education module. In it I talk with synbio/ML researchers about projects in their groups and ideas for how to learn more about this space. ebrc.org/synbio-ml-educ…

REVIEW: Deep Learning Concepts and Applications for Synthetic Biology Mary Dunlop and colleagues present an overview of #SynBio relevant classes of data and #DeepLearning architectures and discuss the challenges and future opportunities in this space. liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/ge…

Genome sequencing of the evolved populations revealed why resistance accelerated in MS but not in SS: mildly-selected resistance mutations were stably maintained without selection, contrarily to strongly-selected mutants that were unstable in drug-free environments. 4/5

What if you could image 🔬cells and then choose which ones to sequence 🧬? What if you could go back and image 🔬cells that you previously sequenced 🧬? Now you can 🔬 then 🧬 then 🔬 cells again with Light-Seq! nature.com/articles/s4159… Let’s dig in 🧵.

Here's our new article -- potentially, everything you ever wanted to know about light-regulated gene expression in bacteria (& much more). frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… Welcome opportunity to team up once again with Robert Ohlendorf (this guy knows stuff!). Enjoy

I learned so much through making these slides, and I hope they'll help you learn (and teach) too! Very excited to share a new course module that covers the theory, core tools, and impacts of engineering/synthetic biology: ebrc.org/ed-module-intr…

Very excited to share our new preprint where we use a deep learning-based feedback algorithm to control gene expression in real time in thousands of single E. coli cells in parallel. This work was led by Jean-Baptiste Lugagne and @cblassick. 1/

Super excited that our paper with Ajo-Franklin Lab, i.e., CAF, is out (doi.org/10.1038/s41586…) with Josh Atkinson, Lin Su, Xu Zhang, and George Bennett. Congrats to all!!!

Join the EBRC SPA December 6 for Data and Engineering: Operating at the Technical Interface. Panelists will discuss transitioning to industry, their current role, and valuable data-specific skills. Learn more and register here: ebrc.org/ebrc-spa-prese…

Interested in bacterial peptide sensing? Check out my latest paper! Thanks to all of my amazing co-authors in Tabor Lab lab + beyond: @synthetic_queer Andrew Mu @KGroszman Ky Van Hoang Kevin @bhpogostin John Gunn @jeffrey_j_tabor nature.com/articles/s4158…

We are now accepting applications for the 2023 Apprentice Challenge Class! BioBuilder's 8 Week program for Boston area high schoolers that prepares students for summer internships at area academic labs and life science companies. biobuilder.org/program/high-s…

Delighted to share our latest paper on the RENDR platform — an engineered ribozyme that can convert RNA signals into orthogonal protein outputs. Published in Nature Communications and led by Lauren Gambill, PhD, August Staubus, Kim Wai Mo, and @andrea_faint. Supported by U.S. National Science Foundation nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share my latest work! We use light to turn on antibiotic resistance, and can use this to boost fatty acid bioproduction.

Our latest paper is out! Light-inducible expression of antibiotic resistance genes. Led by Michael Sheets, with help from Nathan Tague. Constructs are on Addgene if you want to try them out.

On Thursday we had the pleasure of hosting the Tyngsboro High School's BioBuilderClub Team at our Learning Lab! While here, they performed a bacterial transformation with the DNA plasmid they designed. Great work from these amazing students! #tpsprepares #biobuilder

Minipreps! They're a fact of life. But if they don't bring you joy, you might want to try new tactics or treat yourself to some fun new toys! Our lab has done 2,625 minipreps so far. Let me share a few tidbits about our approach and our favorite pieces of equipment. 🧵 (1/n)

An excellent contribution to the literature on SynBio education - congrats to the team EBRC ! Introduction to Engineering Biology: A Conceptual Framework for Teaching Synthetic Biology | ACS Synthetic Biology pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
