HB 1570 was just passed through both chambers in the Arkansas legislature, banning trans youth from accessing health care and health insurance coverage that we deserve and need. Our rights and lives are under attack. Governor Hutchinson must veto this bill.

Giveaway time! WORX Tools Sent an extra MakerX kit so I figured I would give one to a fellow maker! Retweet and Follow (Sean Hodgins) to enter! See following tweet for details.

I'm at #AIChE2022! Come see my talk and learn how to design more effective biomaterials. Looking forward to hearing other great talks and interesting discussions this week.

Look at all this beautiful free speech!

Super excited to share our first pre-print of 2023! CAR T cells can't be dynamically tuned in vivo, creating safety and resistance issues. To overcome this, we developed a valency controlled receptor (VCR) that uses drugs to modulate CAR T cell activity. 👇🧵Sarafan ChEM-H

Pls RT: Do you wanna meet synbio friends old and new? Do you always wonder what mammalian synbio is about? Do you just need an excuse to visit San Jose in summer? The 10th mSBW is open for registration mammalian-synbio.org/2023! Abstract deadline coming up soon too.

Excited to share a new preprint from Xiaojing Gao at Stanford Engineering on Compact Programmable Control of Protein Secretion in Mammalian Cells biorxiv.org/content/10.110… There is a need to ensure that the #synbio tools we develop can fit within pre-existing vectors for delivery!

Excited to be at American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) annual meeting this week! Catch me at the MTFC poster session tomorrow 1-3pm (poster 335) and in Monday's Faculty candidate oral session (1:42 pm in Celebration 15). Excited to share my vision on using synthetic biology to create smart therapeutics!

Curious about synbio + tissue engineering (and much more)? Check out Alex's poster and talks at AICHE!

Congratulations to Paolo Ramos on successfully defending his Ph.D. thesis "Engineering the Structure and Electrical Behavior of Carbon Black Suspensions." Paolo will be starting his new job at L'Oréal in New Jersey. Best wishes for continued success in this new chapter, Paolo!😊

I am excited to share that I will be starting as a tenure track Assistant Professor in Coulter BME | Emory & Georgia Tech at Georgia Tech in the upcoming year. I am very grateful of the unwavering support of my postdoctoral mentor, Xiaojing Gao , and my PhD supervisor, Michael Sefton.

#TraineeSpotlight: Lexie is a Chemical Engineering PhD Candidate. Her research focuses on developing novel aptamers via modified SELEX schemes and characterizing them for biosensing applications. In her free time, Lexie Adams enjoys traveling, running, and wine tasting.

Apparently the doi link isn't working yet. Here's the BioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Next stop for the Heilshorn Lab is the Bioengineering & Translational Medicine Conference and AIChE Annual Meeting in San Diego! We are thrilled to be sharing our research at these 2 colocated events. Come say hi! 🌴 #AIChE2024 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)

Thank you so much Stanford Bioengineering Inflection Award !!! 🌱

LIDAR is out! rdcu.be/efugD We've improved a lot, e.g., making MESA-like LIDAR work, RNAseq of on-/off-target editing, and optimizing RNA delivery. We are one baby step closer to making it useful for therapeutics. NIH high-risk high-reward program provides key support.
