Our first paper is out in Cell! Led by Rohith Rajasekaran, we present a programmable reaction-diffusion system that generates synthetic protein waves, oscillations, and patterns for spatiotemporal circuit design and FM data-encoding in human cells. authors.elsevier.com/a/1iN8ZL7PXmeeN

🚨Come join our new EEbio Programme Grant project spanning University of Oxford, Imperial College London, and University of Bristol to tame biological complexity using control engineering and tackle global challenges.🦠🛠️ Several posts available across the project. More info at eebio.ac.uk #synbio

I’ve always believed great science happens with great people. Couldn’t ask for a better team than Buwei, Green and Brian. Together, we created EndoTags, a de novo protein version of the foundational LYTAC system from the Bertozzi lab.Institute for Protein Design nature.com/articles/s4158…

David didn’t just launch a field that's transforming science and soon, our lives—he did it while being an incredible mentor and a caring human. His dedication to his lab and students is just as worth celebrating. Cograts to David and to us at the Institute for Protein Design!

As a graduate student, I appeared in this Ad for Technion Israel🤓 . Today, I'm happy to share that I am starting my own independent research group! After 3 incredible years at INSIGHTEC 's scientific research team, I'm returning to the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering! #newPI

Cute story alert!🧵Caltech two clueless office mates (DanPiraner & I) created a tool to control cells with ultrasound. As postdocs (UC San Francisco & Institute for Protein Design), we teamed up again (with Majo Duran & Adam Chazin-Gray) to build a tool for engineered cell signaling nature.com/articles/s4158…

I’m excited to share how a modular synthetic receptor called SNIPR opens new possibilities for immunotherapy by sensing both tumor-secreted factors and synthetic computationally designed soluble proteins: nature.com/articles/s4158….

What happens when you can take videos of acoustic proteins in 3D inside the body? 🧊 You can see things like the flow of CSF in the brain!🧠 Congrats to Sunho Lee, co-senior author Claire Rabut, and colleagues on "Takoyaki" 3D ultrasound.🥟 #gasvesicles biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Can we make a brain tumor visible under ultrasound? 🧠 🔉 Yes, using intravenous #gasvesicles! This can help guide brain surgery and monitor for tumor recurrence. Congrats to Claire Rabut, George H. Daghlian and collaborators! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The LA fires hit the Caltech community pretty hard, including my brilliant MD/PhD student George Daghlian, whose family lost their home. 🥹 I'm glad to be able to help, and grateful to so many friends assisting however they can! 💪 gofundme.com/f/daghlian-fam…

Bacterial-MERFISH combines 1000-fold volumetric expansion with multiplexed fluorescence in situ hybridization, enabling high-throughput, spatially resolved profiling of thousands of operons within individual bacteria. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #NBThighlight

We're recruiting a technician to help with our work on neurons! 🧠 Great opportunity to work with Di Wu and other awesome scientists Caltech. Please RT.

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis

With a pair of new methods, Ed Boyden is expanding the capabilities of expansion microscopy so researchers everywhere can see more when they look at cells and tissues under a light microscope. MIT Science MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences Nature Communications mcgovern.mit.edu/2025/02/18/see…

Sound-sheet microscopy is born! Congratulations to Baptiste Heiles, lab members and collaborators at the Shapiro Lab (Caltech) and Gazzola Lab (NIN/KNAW) for this scientific achievement 🚀.
