Ahmed's talk was voted a top presentation from the ACS Fall meeting! Please join him on Dec. 13 as part of the Best of BIOT series

For those still in Boston at #cellbio23, you won’t want to miss grad student Unyime Effiong's talk today! She’ll be presenting on new additions to the cytoskeleton toolkit that we call CASTs, controllable actin-binding switch tools

Happy 2024 from our lab to yours! May your gels run straight, your syntheses lack side products, and your imaging always yield high signal-to-background

What is #cellfree #synthetic biology? and how is it opening access to biotechnologies? Check out this new issue ACS Synthetic Bio with Kamat Lab Kate Adamala @MarileenD pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

If you're at #ACSSpring2024, then please check out Alex Lin talk tomorrow in the Biomembrane symposium. He has been working in stealth-mode but will finally share the fruits of his labor. Teaser: chemistry comes to the rescue when other reconstitution methods fall short

Congratulations to 2nd year graduate student Eva in the lab! She received a #GRFP Honorable Mention today by the U.S. National Science Foundation and recently passed her qualifying exam. Cheers to all the hard work!

🤞 that the clouds part soon here in Austin
