We may never understand all of biology's rules, and the possibilities are greater than all the stars in the universe. Companies like Inscripta, Inc. and Infinome Biosciences enable bioinnovators to operate over nature's vast diversity — at incredible speed. #builtwithbiology




Really excited about our @nusynbio new manuscript published in Nature Communications with Michael Köpke 🏭💨+🧬🦠=♻️⛽🧴🧵 LanzaTech Global Gonzalez Research Group U.S. Department of Energy This work forms a new blueprint for carbon-negative manufacturing with #synbio mccormick.northwestern.edu/news/articles/…



Efforts to repurpose ribosomes could lead to new antibiotics, materials, and flexible electronics. Check out our new work by Do Soon Kim Andrew Watkins Das Lab Northwestern CSB in Nature Chemical Biology to engineer tethered ribosomes. Story by Northwestern Engineering Northwestern mccormick.northwestern.edu/news/articles/…


Today we share "mobilization" for engineering translation systems ACS Synthetic Bio Sam Gowland Northwestern CSB sampled large genomic space to evolve genomically integrated tethered ribosomes that support increased growth phenotypes #synbio pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…


Thrilled to represent #biotech at the The White House today with our good friends Jason Kelly (Ginkgo Bioworks), Douglas Friedman (BioMADE), Tia Lyles-Williams (LucasPye BIO), Sri Kosaraju (Inscripta, Inc.), @meganjpalmer (Stanford University) and Barbara McQuiston.


Yesterday, the Biden-Harris Administration announced funding of more than $2 billion to advance President Donald J. Trump' Executive Order on a National Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative to create good jobs, reduce carbon emissions, and foster health. More: ⤵️ whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…




I'm delighted to share the first paper from my PhD published in ACS Synthetic Bio! SpyPhage: A Cell-Free TXTL Platform for Rapid Engineering of Targeted Phage Therapies. doi.org/10.1021/acssyn… #TXTL #phage #phagetherapy #synbio #cellfree


Have you ever wondered about the limits of the ribosome's ancient bond forming mechanism? Beyond polypeptides/polyesters, what else is possible? Now Nature Communications, Northwestern CSB show that the ribosome can make pyridazinone bonds via cyclocondensation reactions nature.com/articles/s4146…


Moving to Mastodon, see you all over there [email protected]
