Glad to share our latest publication, where Douglas Densmore and I share our vision about a hardware, wetware, and software co-design environment for the forward engineer of #Microfluidics chips carrying #Synthetic communities to solve real-life problems. spj.sciencemag.org/journals/bdr/2…

A small being 🦠that was a giant step in evolution! 17.9 is the #InternationalMicroorganismDay. To celebrate, we partnered with Sociedade Portuguesa de Microbiologia to host a virtual tour of our lab (10AM GMT+1). See how we study bacteria. 👨‍🔬 🔬🧬🧪 sites.google.com/view/andreribe… International Microorganism Day

Happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Research Assistant Professor at #bostonuniversity! Excited to begin building my research group at the BU Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering focusing on engineering microfluidic chips to study synthetic microbial communities. #research #syntheticbiology

I am humbled and excited to share that my ERC Starting Grant project #TEMPADAPT has been funded! We will study how bacteria adapt to extreme temperatures from 0°C to 100°C using #SuperResolution #singlemolecule tracking European Research Council (ERC) Institute of Biotechnology (BI) @HiLIFE_Helsinki University of Helsinki

📢 JOB ALERT! 📢 We have European Research Council (ERC) funded PhD and postdoc positions available to work on our #TEMPADAPT project. More info: tinyurl.com/d4p4ey2n tinyurl.com/k38c5yah Please RT.

We have published (in our laboratory's YouTube channel) a short video describing one of our recent works on the role of sigma factors in gene expression regulation! 📽️🤓(youtube.com/watch?v=NLVmPH…)

Happy to announce the PhD defense🎓of my student M Bahrudeen. He studied genome wide🧬effects of local DNA features on #SingleCell🔬single gene expression in #Ecoli🦠. The defense will be transmitted online. #supercoil #TandemPromoter🥳 @TampereUniMET tuni.fi/en/news/mohame…

We have published a new video, presenting our recent work on the influence that the topology and logic of the transcription factor network of E. coli has on the global transcriptional programs responsive to shifts in media richness! 🔬🧬🦠(youtu.be/y9xCNG6B2Hs).

!We are very grateful to Sigrid Jusélius Stiftelse for a 3-years grant! Thank you! We will study transcriptional programs that evolved in bacteria 🦠 to increase their antibiotics tolerance💊.😀

We have just opened a position for a new Ph.D. student: tuni.rekrytointi.com/paikat/?o=A_RJ…. Please apply if you like our project! 🎓🔬🦠🧬🙂

Only one more week to apply to European Research Council (ERC) funded PhD and postdoc positions in our #TEMPADAPT project. More info: tinyurl.com/2zy95b5z tinyurl.com/3z6bja2x tinyurl.com/mpmwj5y4

We are happy to inform that we completed and shared our work "A library of reporters of the global regulators of gene expression of Escherichia coli" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… . Hopefully, it will be useful to many. 🙂🧬🔬

Abstract deadline: July 30... waiting for your latest stories!

We are happy🙂to share our library of reporters of global regulators of gene expression 🧬#ecoli published in #mSystems and (soon available in #AddGene)! We hope it is useful 🔬 doi.org/10.1128/msyste…. doi.org/10.5061/dryad.…. #Biorender #GeneExpression #TranscriptionFactor 📷

Promoter spacing: Ribeiro and colleagues @TampereUniMET study the transcriptional interference of engineered promoters in nonoverlapping, tandem formations, finding attenuation depends on multiple factors. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #syntheticbiology #transcription

We are happy!🙂🕵️‍♀️! to share our new paper in Biochemistry on transcription attenuation 🧬#ecoli in tandem promoters due to RNAP collisions and fall-offs: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…. Genetic constructs will be available in #AddGene! #GeneExpression #TranscriptionFactor #Biorender

And now, for something completely new to the LBD, we have contributed with the cover for a number of Biochemistry: pubs.acs.org/toc/bichaw/63/…. 🥳👩‍🎨🧑‍🎨🎨.

New issue! 📣 Learn about copper chaperones, target determination, IR for protein structure & more. pubs.acs.org/toc/bichaw/63/… Cover art: Chauhan et al @TampereUniMET study engineered promoter spacing, finding attenuation depends on multiple factors. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

New paper in PLOS Comp Biol! We found natural #Ecoli genes with #bimodal dynamics at the #singlecell level. We propose a model, study their robustness to stresses, and share lots of data for future works. These genes might have many applications. doi.org/10.1371/journa…. 🥳

How do bacterial operons respond to genome-wide stress? In our new Science Advances paper, we show that it is all about internal promoters and premature terminations! A key mechanism, shared by many species. 📄+ 💻 + 🧪 = doi.org/10.1126/sciadv….
