CRISPR technologies are powerful gene editing tools because they are programmable. We are excited to describe 3 new programmable systems, IscB, IsrB, and TnpB, some of the most abundant genes on the planet, with potential for gene editing. Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our giant cells are featured in Science news! Shout out to Olivier Gros who first discovered these cells and to Silvina Gonzalez-Rizzo who first identified them and named the species Thiomargarita magnifica! science.org/content/articl…

Our labs TAMGulderLab_TechBioDD in Dresden and TaGulder Group in Leipzig (biomolecular natural product chemistry and organic synthesis, biocatalysis, ...) welcome researchers from Ukraine. We can also offer free housing for transition and assist in funding applications. Please RT and read below!

In 1994, Jeff Bezos famously spotted a stat that made him leave his high-paying PE job to start Amazon: 💡 The Internet was growing 2300% per year. What are the generation-defining stats of today? I'll post a few to kick things off...

It’s bittersweet to announce that I’ve left academia for a data science job in the NGO world. It has been about a month since I rescinded my post-doc (and while I’m bummed not to be working with that amazing crew), I couldn’t be happier. I wrote a short 🧵 about that decision:

The Board of Trustees approved 4 promotions for #UICPharm faculty last week. Today we're celebrating Dr. Alessandra Eustaquio being promoted to Associate Professor. Congratulations, Dr. Eustaquio!

Feeling nostalgic listening to Dr Sanchez’s talk about IDBac. SIMB Dr Laura Sanchez BT Murphy Lab .

Sylvia Kunakom telling us about her postdoc work Joint Genome Institute SIMB the morning sesh was a partial UIC Pharmaceutical Sciences reunion 🤓

Exciting talk from Joint Genome Institute’s Sylvia Kunakom about our work on RiPP genome mining from the GEBA Actino dataset!

I am thrilled to begin my 1-year term today serving SIMB as President. Looking forward to working with our members, Board and SIMB staff to advance industrial microbiology and biotechnology. #SIMBAM2022 #SIMBPrez

Amazing talk about his work on applying DAP-seq and RiViT-seq to understand transcriptional regulation in Actinobacteria by Hiroshi Otani Joint Genome Institute SIMB

Thanks @ACS_DivBioChem and Infectious Diseases for this nifty write up! Looking forward to talking about our research at #ACSFall2022 🤓👩🏽‍🔬🧫⚡️axial.acs.org/2022/08/11/mee…

The low wages as a postdoc in the Bay Area during the pandemic coupled with inflation forced me to take a different career path. theguardian.com/us-news/2022/d…

#finally caught up with ⁦Carolyn Bertozzi⁩ and Jennifer ⁦@doudna_lab⁩ #nobelweek #chemnobelles ⁦The Nobel Prize⁩

Humbled to have worked at ⁦Joint Genome Institute⁩. Thank you ⁦Nigel Mouncey⁩, ⁦Hiroshi Otani⁩, ⁦⁦@danudwary⁩, and ⁦Drew T. Doering, PhD⁩ for making this publication a reality. This review means a lot to me because it is my first publication as a mom. academic.oup.com/jimb/advance-a…

Glad to learn that our paper led by Sylvia Kunakom is editor’s choice. doi.org/10.1093/jimb/k… SIMB
