Our latest paper engineering bacterial swarm patterns as biosensor readouts is out in Nature Chemical Biology! Led by @anjalidoshi16, Marian Shaw, collaborating w/ Andrew Laine, Jia Guo, we encode inputs like copper in visible patterns & decode w/ AI. Congrats all! nature.com/articles/s4158…

We are looking for postdocs in the area of synthetic microbial communities - please spread the word!

Very excited for the opportunity to visit the Princeton bioengineering community!

New preprint! Engineered bacteria launch and control an oncolytic virus biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Exciting work from Zak Singer jpabon & lab engineering bacteria to deliver viral RNAs that launch viral spread. We also engineer the virus to depend on bacteria. Congrats all!

Looking forward to visiting Cornell BME next week! events.cornell.edu/event/bme_spec…

Excited to share our new preprint! We program probiotic bacteria to create a next generation anti-tumor vaccine that stimulates tumor neoantigen-specific immunity to control and eradicate solid tumors Columbia CMBS Columbia BME. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Bacteria-based living drugs can treat a broad range of diseases. In this Review, the Danino lab discuss the translational challenges of engineered bacterial therapeutics and how synthetic biology and nanomedicine can help overcome them. Columbia University go.nature.com/3rM7z4m

Check out our new review on the interface of bacterial therapy and nanomedicine!

New paper today! Rosa, @cgurbatri and team engineer probiotics that make synthetic antigens to “paint” cancer cells and direct CAR-T cell activity. Enables targeting cells lacking TAAs. Bacterially produced chemokines also help CAR-Ts. w/Arpaia Lab doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Delighted to be included in this wonderful list. Thank you STAT for highlighting my story!

[please share/retweet!] Very happy to announce that I will be starting at Rice Engineering and Computing as a CPRIT scholar ! I will be hiring 2-3 PhD students, so please encourage your talented undergraduates interested in materials, biotechnology, and cancer neuroscience to apply!

We're hiring! We're taking another big leap in using synthetic biology to engineer materials - this time for sustainable food and textiles. In the next few weeks, we've up to 4 postdoc positions opening up. I'd love to hear from anyone interested in joining us this year. Pls RT🔁

I have 2 postdoc positions open for people to come work in our lab in sunny London🧑‍🔬 Got goods skills in using synthetic biology and microbiology to make materials? Consider joining us on. Pls RT 🔁 jobs.ac.uk/job/DGV362/res…

Great program and absolutely recommend for anyone in BioE! I had a wonderful time getting to know the community at Princeton

Today we’re introducing Pioneer Labs, a startup engineering microbes for Mars 🚀🌼. We make hardy critters that thrive even in the extremes of space 👽. We aim to make biomanufacturing ubiquitous, reliable, and green — on Earth and beyond 🚀 pioneer-labs.org

New paper in collaboration w/The Arpaia Lab out in Nature today! Andrew Redenti, Jongwon Im and team engineer E. coli Nissle probiotic as cancer vaccines nature.com/articles/s4158… Columbia BME Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center. Congrats all!!

Congrats Fangda Li and team! Another great collab w/ Tal Danino's lab out today in Science Immunology! Programmable bacteria synergize with PD-1 blockade to overcome cancer cell–intrinsic immune resistance mechanisms.
