A huge thanks to the Murray lab at Caltech for hosting me the last three weeks to learn about using modelling tools for syn bio. I'm looking forward to employing these in projects. Big thanks also to Imperial Science for funding this visit via the Researcher Mobility Award scheme!

Excited to be back in Japan for the International Living Systems Materiology Symposium at Tokyo Tech and to meet old friends and new faces! Thanks to the Ueno lab for the invitation, and Masahiro Takinoue for the welcome meal!

Thank you for having me Kawano Lab. (東京農工大学 川野研究室) ! It was great to meet your group, discuss research and eat delicious food!

📢 New exciting research alert! Led by our final-year PhD student 🌟 Matt Allen, supervised by Yuval Elani, Prof Oscar Ces, and James Hindley! Check out their new paper at PNASNews! 🧪 #artificialcells #syntheticorganelles #hydrogel

Our work, led by the fantastic Matt Allen, is out in PNAS! See how we use integrate particle organelles within hydrogel microparticles to generate sensing and motility behaviours. Great collab with Yuval, Oscar and the rest of the team! Imperial Chemistry Imperial ChemEng #synbio

Delighted to see the announcement of our newly awarded CRUK-PCUK Innovation Award @BevanLab Prof Oscar Ces . Can't wait to test the translational potential of our technology - and exciting to see this develop from my PhD! Thanks to Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK and Prostate Cancer UK for funding this work.

It was great to speak at the Japan-UK International Workshop on Engineering Biology yesterday, and return to Tokyo Tech. Thank you to Takinoue Lab (瀧ノ上研究室, 情報生命物理学) and other organisers for hosting and for the great scientific discussions! #synbio #engbio #sakura

We are currently recruiting two postdocs for a CRUK/PCUK-funded project developing syncell nanomedicines via microfluidics to treat prostate cancer with @BevanLab Prof Oscar Ces Nazila Kamaly and the Aboagye lab. One week left to apply - please share and RT! #synbio #drugdelivery #cancer

Great to see this published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. - a testament to the talent and hard work of Karen! Check out how we control biosynthesis in synthetic cells using magnetic fields 🧲 Imperial Chemistry Imperial ChemEng #synbio

Delighted to see this published - led by Matt Allen and through Imperial ChemEng - Imperial Chemistry collaboration with Yuval Elani, Rob Law and Oz. Congrats all. Check the paper out below! #synbio #syncell

Delighted to be a part of this project, which builds on our existing partnerships with Science Tokyo (Institute of Science Tokyo) to develop the Japan-UK SYNERGY research consortium! Excited to work together to develop bioenergy generation methods and unlock long-lasting syn cells! #synbio #syncell

Excited to be in (snowy) Seoul for the Korea-UK workshop on integrating single molecule imaging and synthetic biology 한국과학기술연구원(KIST), coorganised by Wooli Bae. I'm looking forward to making new connections and learning about exciting new science! #synbio

Want to do a PhD with us? Automated microfluidic pipelines for design, build, test + discovery of compartmentalized LNPs for drug + vaccine delivery. Collab w. Prof Oscar Ces and Rongjun Chen . Please apply + get in touch for more info. RT appreciated! imperial.ac.uk/chemical-biolo…
