Hear from PAGER’s co-creators, Nick Kalogriopoulos and Reika Tei in this Stanford news story from Taylor Kubota: Tool that enhances control of cellular activity could expand biological and medical frontiers news.stanford.edu/stories/2024/1…

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. Djenet Bousbaine led the charge... nature 1/55

In new work led by Aditi Merchant with Samuel King, we prompt engineer Evo to perform function-guided protein design with high experimental success rates, including designs that go beyond natural sequences. We also release SynGenome, the first AI-generated genomics database. 🧵 1/N

Looks like a true game changer! We’ve all been wrestling far too long with the natural TCR framework toward rapid generation of binders to arbitrary pMHC. Perhaps there’s a better framework! Congrats to the authors! Haotian Du Jingjia Liu SgourakisLab Possu Huang Lab

Engineered enzymes can advance green chemistry. Unfortunately, engineering enzymes remains hard. In Nature Communications, we showed that AI-guided design coupled to cell-free systems can predict mutants as well as lab experiments. Ashty Karim engineering.stanford.edu/news/hunt-new-…

Thank you Sattely_lab sattelylab.bsky.social for sharing your insights on engineering of plant chemistry for plant and human health at the SB.Talk seminar 🌲🙌🏼🌟 #stanford #syntheticbiology #stanfordsb

Professor Hawa Racine Thiam joins us at SB.talk to discuss how her lab is working towards building a synthetic nucleus to control immune cell functions 🙌🏼 Stanford Bioengineering Sarafan ChEM-H

We trained a genomic language model on all observed evolution, which we are calling Evo 2. The model achieves an unprecedented breadth in capabilities, enabling prediction and design tasks from molecular to genome scale and across all three domains of life.

Stanford BioE PhD student Bella Archibald named Top 30 Young Scientists working on breakthrough solutions to climate change 🌍🛠️🌿 Honored by Inflection Award for her impact. Congrats, Bella Archibald 🙌🏼 bioengineering.stanford.edu/news/stanford-…

2 new papers from Dr. Xiaojing Gao Xiaojing Gao with Bio-X Fellows Carlos Aldrete , Santiago Mille , and Eerik Kaseniit , with support from Stanford Bio-X Seed Grants, introduce revolutionary new protein and RNA editing platforms for cell-based therapy! biox.stanford.edu/highlight/new-…

Out today! LIDAR, a new class of synthetic receptors expanding the cell engineering toolbox. We demonstrate orthogonal sensing of secreted & membrane-bound ligands, spatial patterning & mRNA delivery! Thanks to co-authors, especially co-first Xiaowei Zhang rdcu.be/efugD

Stanford hosted its 2nd Synthetic Biology for Sustainability Symposium on May 7!🌱 Supported by the deans of Stanford Engineering Stanford Medicine Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, the event featured cross-campus speakers on how synthetic biology can power a more sustainable future.

Had a blast at the Build-a-Cell workshop at Stanford last Saturday. It was mito-memorable! #BuildACell

In Episode 5 of Art &, Drew Endy Stanford Bioengineering & Phil Ross Open Fung discusses art, fungi, bioengineering and how artists and scientists can team up to build a a more sustainable and thoughtful future. 🍄‍🟫🧬🎨 Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/1RdZdf…
