Great chief of staff opportunity at a microbiome x food startup co-founded by the brilliant ravi sheth! A rare chance to create consumer products through cutting edge biotech. DM me if you're interested. jobs.ashbyhq.com/kingdomsupercu…

Deadline in 9 days!

Exciting new program!

We are looking for summer undergraduate researchers to work on a new NSF-funded project to develop a synthetic biology/optogenetics teaching module for high school classrooms, starting ASAP. Please reach out to Jeff Tabor if you are interested! taborlab.rice.edu

🚨Our lab has MULTIPLE funded postdoctoral positions open for different microbiome projects ranging from Cancer, Rare Earth Elements, and Anti-mold applications!! We build & use cool tech for microbiomes.🛠️🧬🦠 DM or email me at [email protected] to apply. Pls RT

Welcome, Reggie! The future is bright. We are so excited.

Bacteria phosphorylate response regulator proteins to survive stresses, colonize hosts, and resist antibiotics among other processes. Here, we report an optical method to monitor this process in live cells. Congrats Rice University Bioengineering Ph.D. Ryan Butcher. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Exciting!

Still time to apply y'all! In addition to exciting science, Rice and Houston are culturally rich and welcoming to all. We encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply. We also have the best food in the world! #neurotwitter #AcademicTwitter Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Future PI Slack

Please RT: Duke BME is recruiting a tenure track faculty member in #syntheticbiology , delivery of #complexbiologics, or #mechanobiology, each being broadly defined. academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/22862

Wonderful review for anyone interested in optogenetics beyond neuroscience and cell biology

Check out our new paper! We use E. coli display to characterize interactions between antimicrobial peptides and bacterial two-component systems. We discover numerous new human AMP activators of PhoPQ! Congrats Kathryn Brink and team. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congrats Kathryn!

A marriage between Synthetic Biology and Synthetic Chemistry! Computationally design pathways to molecules by combining enzymatic and chemistry steps.

We worked with @synlogic to make therapeutic bacteria easier to program. The era of living medicines is coming fast.

Day 5 of great synthetic biology papers. "Engineering Escherichia coli to see light" (2005). A 1-page paper that reports the "world's first camera that uses bacteria to take photographs." I love this study because it is simple. ***** The International Genetically Engineered

Day 6 of great synthetic biology papers. "A Synthetic Genetic Edge Detection Program," (2009). Multiple genetic circuits were added to E. coli cells, endowing them with the ability to sense light, communicate with each other, and identify the light-dark edges. A classic. ***

In this new paper, we collaborated with the wonderful Omid Veiseh group to encapsulate engineered bacteria in hydrogel spheres to enhance their survival through the GI tract and ability to diagnose intestinal inflammation. Congrats to the team! doi.org/10.1016/j.biom…

We are so excited that Jeff was named a 2023 #DoD Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellow, and look forward to participating in this unique and rewarding program! news.rice.edu/news/2023/rice…
