@AIChECAST10 Banquets are the best! Bonus is this 👇. Thanks AIChE CAST Division for the 2021 Young Researcher Award. Truly humbled!

My student Baizhen Gao is going to give a talk at Synthetic Biology: Microbiome Engineering session at AIChE. Looking forward to this wonderful session! #AICHE2021 #Boston

Baizhen gave a great presentation talking about our recent Nature Communications paper on programming animal physiology through engineered bacteria. First national conference presentation from our group. Thank you Nathan Crook Eric Anderson for such a good session! #AICHE2021 #Boston

I am going to give a talk at the SynBYSS community 2/10, 10 am central time. Zoom link is here. Please join us and see the recent progress from our lab!

Having a great time at San Diego Adam Spangler ACS BIOT first in person conference of the year!

Excited to share that we got the NIH $1.8M Stephen I. Katz Early Stage Investigator R01 to develop thermally stable mRNA vaccines. We are excited and grateful and are hiring PhD and postdocs. Please check out the grant details here tx.ag/VaccineStabili…

Wilfred Chen Lab reunion at San Diego ACS BIOT although Chen is not in town. We miss having you in the party! Wilfred Chen

I am happy to share our new work on using CRISPR Cas6 for dynamic protein assembly. Excellent work by Alex Mitkas. nature.com/articles/s4158…
