Congratulations to Keasling Labs two Sarahs that ran the Berkeley Half marathon! One of them even got SECOND place! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Great Job to our amazing undergraduates today in their Flash Talk Research Bash! We always look forward to celebrating their growth as scientists.

🎄🧬 Happy Holidays from the Keasling Lab 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️! 2024 was a year full of scientific breakthroughs and collaborations. May biology continue to solve global problems in 2025 🧬🎄

The Keasling Lab is now accepting undergraduate research applications for the Spring 2025 semester, with availability in these projects! Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, apply here: forms.gle/wErQJffrgiiqHn…

Glad to share a major piece of my postdoc projects in the KL, and huge thanks to my co-authors & collaborators! We hope this work inspires further PKS engineering to expand biomanufacturing capabilities!

We agree 😎

Hey there Berkeley ChemE folks! I'll be giving a lecture this Wednesday March 5th at 10:15 in 180 Tan Happy to be coming back as it's been a few years since I was there as an undergrad running a distillation columns and calculating a boundary layers. I will provide some

We're thrilled the work led by our Ph.D. candidate Maria Astolfi (Maria Astolfi) is out now on Nature Communications! Our lab has been historically committed to social responsibility. Here, we propose partnerships with Indigenous Peoples for an ethical bioeconomy. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Exploring alternative hosts for engineered PKSs is a promising strategy. In our latest publication, we established P. putida as a production host for unnatural polyketides. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper out in Nature Catalysis! We used a retrobiosynthesis approach to engineer PKSs for the production of new-to-nature valerolactam analogs. Later, we developed a strategy to polymerize these monomers to create novel nylon-5 derivatives. Check it out nature.com/articles/s4192…

Happy to share our new publication out today in Nature Plants where we quantitatively dissect synergy and antagonism that occurs during Nicotiana benthamiana transient agroinfiltration. Congrats to Simon, Matthew, Mitch and all other co-authors! nature.com/articles/s4147…

We're excited to share another work from our lab this week. We present ENTRAP-seq, the first massively parallel reporter assay to characterize protein-coding libraries in plants. Congrats to Simon, Lucas, and all other co-authors. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Today the Shih Lab (ShihLab) presents ENTRAP-seq, a high-throughput assay for functional screening directly in plant cells.

Our postdoc, Peter Winegar, will receive Michigan Tech's Outstanding Young Alumni award to recognize his notable achievements. We are proud to be part of his rising academic career and can't wait to see what is next for him! Check out his accomplishments: mtu.edu/alumni/recogni…
