Very happy to see the “optoscillator” - a synthetic optogenetic oscillator - published! By applying light pulses on growing E. coli colonies and analysing the ring patterns, we observed synchronisation, (subharmonic) resonance, period doubling and chaos! nature.com/articles/s4146…

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Come join us in beautiful Ghent for a pre-Christmas treat of Synthetic Biology in early December. Abstract deadline is tomorrow and the poster sessions at these VIB meetings are always amazing.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”
