The BioEn Department has a new chair! We welcome Princess Imoukhuede who will move to UW from the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Imoukhuede will hold the Hunter and Dorothy Simpson Endowed Chair and Professorship. newsroom.uw.edu/news/new-chair…

Congratulations to all new members of the Allen Institutes' Next Generation Leaders Council. x.com/AllenInstitute…

Sometimes it's incredible where challenging even the most established theories can lead you. Another great episode from PBS Space Time. What If Our Understanding of Gravity Is Wrong? youtu.be/0sTBZ2G4vow via YouTube

Dr. Weizhe Hong (UCLA) published a study that cautions against the general use of ChETA channelrhodopsin in every application. I agree! Biophysical properties matter for achieving significant population responses. doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…

Our manuscript on our HT-sensor engineering platform is available on BioRxiv. Big thanks to PhD candidate Michael Rappleye and the groups of Drs. Bruchas, Stuber, and Fowler who made this fantastic interdisciplinary project possible! doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…

Exciting news from the Berndt Lab! Our latest manuscript, "Machine Learning Ensemble Directed Engineering of Genetically Encoded Fluorescent Calcium Indicators," showcases the power of #MachineLearning in protein engineering. Read the full manuscript: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cool story about an ongoing collaboration between the Berndt and Simpson labs. We aim to use fluorescent oxidative stress sensors in stem cell models for dermatological pathophysiology. iscrm.uw.edu/news/breaking-…

Electric stimulation (ES) to the brain is an established treatment for neurological conditions like epilepsy and Parkinson’s. New findings from our scientists and collaborators could help doctors fine tune when, where and how to apply it. alleninstitute.org/news/zapping-t…
