Unveiling the unfamiliar within the familiar: Our latest preprint, in collaboration with UC San Diego Systems Biology, presents a comprehensive study of Extracellular Electron Transfer in E. coli.

I am thrilled to share our new preprint on bioRxiv! In this work, we uncovered factors causing variations in gene expression capacity in the One-Pot PURE systems and present strategies to address them. Check out our findings here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

The first #SEED2024 poster session was great. Lots of people at Jane, Fankang and Oli’s posters. Including a visit to Jane’s poster from the first ever Imperial College Centre for Synthetic Biology PhD student James Chappell who now runs the Chappell Lab at Rice University

We're excited to see our recent work on multi-functional transposons now in press. Nucleases and guide RNAs and catalytic introns, oh my! See the links and original thread below, for more... science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… drive.google.com/file/d/1fOVqT2…

Check out my first publication with Chappell Lab and Joff Silberg ! Read it to learn how rare events like horizontal gene transfer can be tracked using a #ribozyme and #syntheticbiology. 🦠🧬🎁➡️🦠🟰🦠☁️‼️🟰👩‍🔬🥳 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
