If you’re interested in working at the forefront of quantitative mammalian cell engineering, we’re hiring for all types of roles Asimov jobs.lever.co/asimov

See Szu-Yi Campbell (nee Hsu)'s work on applying Design of Experiments to metabolic pathway engineering in Metabolic Engineering. Interesting and unexpected impact on colony morphology (Jihaeng Li) and simulations to extend results (Adam Sychla) authors.elsevier.com/a/1gilT3vNLuLd…

I especially liked his blog on mouse models [nikomccarty.com/everything-wro…]. Making model organisms more predictive of the thing they are supposed to be modeling is a worthwhile goal of near-future Synthetic Biology (Engineering Biology?, what are we saying now?).

Nature's idea of an April Fools joke

If you cannot explain something in simple terms, you don't understand it.

At high ratios of male-to-female, (i.e., ratios that are expected for many mosquito biocontrol approaches), the females are pestered to the point where they no longer blood-feed, improving the performance of the biocontrol in an interesting and unexpected way!

Putting this on the summer reading list. Looks exciting Basem.

Thanks Basem Al-Shayeb, Ph.D. 🧬 for a great seminar on engineered trans-splicing. Great our alumni crushing it UMN CBS

Minnesota is dressing up like Christmas for Halloween. I think I have seen this movie.

Trick or treaters aren't letting me leave the building to go teach.

Great work by Tepper, Maselko, et al. Fish that break down methylmercury!

Looking for a postdoc? We are currently hiring plant synthetic biologist to work on an exciting and collaborative DoE project.

AmberBio is hiring: amber.bio/careers. I highly recommend looking into it if you want to work at a fast-moving startup with a creative and impactful technology. Basem Al-Shayeb, Ph.D. 🧬

We are excited to finally publish the unprecedented biosynthetic origins of enediyne natural products: iodinated polyynes! This transformative discovery is a huge milestone for these clinical antitumor antibiotics. Edward Kalkreuter chun gui Nature Chemical Biology nature.com/articles/s4158…

Great lineup of speakers for #ICBE25. Students and postdocs can still submit abstracts to be a part of it. aiche.org/sbe/conference…

I sat down for a break during my morning walk at #ICE2024Kyoto and this guy started croaking at me. How appropriate.

Scientists have birthed a ‘super cannibal’ that never grows up. Could it be key to combating Australia’s cane toad menace? theguardian.com/environment/20…
