Modular, programmable RNA sensing using ADAR editing in living cells - Xiaojing Gao go.nature.com/3Cxx4sO

Our ADAR-based RNA sensors just came online! rdcu.be/cWX7o It allows you to express protein payloads in live cells in direct response to the presence of specific RNA transcripts. Also Eerik Kaseniit, welcome to twitter.

189 Chemistry Nobel Laureates & Carolyn Bertozzi is the 8th female & 1st openly queer person to receive it! I feel honored that I got to express what this means to our communities & that REPRESENTATION DOES MATTER! 🏳️‍🌈🙌🏾 #NobelPrize2022 Sarafan ChEM-H Stanford University 🎥Lynette Haberman

Save the date: the 10th (!) Mammalian Synthetic Biology Workshop will be held on 6/22-6/23, 2023 at Stanford. For the very first time on the west coast of the US.

We've been using NFZ. As great as advertised!

Have you ever stared at your cell (or organoid) culture wanting the cells on the right to express gene X, and the cells on the left to express gene Y, and your cells are like

Can you express multiple genes from a single mRNA at programmable ratios without long intervening sequences or peptide overhangs? 🤔 Yes, with SEMPER! 😉 Congrats Mengtong (Tom) Duan, Ishaan Dev and coauthors on this new tech for mammalian synbio & gene therapy. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

mSBW back in Boston next year!

Brain signaling depends on myelin insulation — which declines with age and in disorders like MS. New research led by @tal_iram and Miguel Garcia in ZucheroLab finds a driver of myelin formation that could lead to new therapies to maintain brain health. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/unlocking…

Join us for this great conference in August! Great talks, very friendly community. Mammalian Synthetic Biology Workshop, August 6-7, 2024, Boston aiche.org/sbe/conference…

Radar Tx is de-stealthed today! It's been so great working (or rather, tagging along) with co-founders, Eerik Kaseniit, Sophia Lugo, and Jim Collins. We've assembled a stellar research team, forging ahead with new designs. We are still hiring more. endpts.com/startup-launch…

Out now! “Schwann cell-secreted PGE2 promotes sensory neuron excitability during development.” Published online today Cell. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jbBiL7PXqRXI

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.

Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye! The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! Together with ZucheroLab, I am excited to build molecular circuits within oligodendrocytes to activate myelin repair, and to understand and reverse their contribution to disease.

I am thrilled to announce that I am launching my lab at the Salk Institute in September! The Blum lab will study the physiological effects of plant-derived molecules, with a particular focus on the mammalian immune system.

I will be joining Rice University as a TTFA. Start to recruit Fall 2025, do email and DM if you’re interested! news.rice.edu/news/2025/comp…
