A big congrats to Jordan Bluford (Jordan Bluford, PhD) who defended his doctoral thesis today!

A big congrats to the students in the Chappell Lab, Joff Silberg, and Lauren Stadler labs for showing how to record info about DNA uptake in an undomesticated microbial community using a new form of synthetic memory doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

Thrilled to share our new preprint on using a new type of microbial memory to track horizontal gene transfer in environmental microbial communities. Amazing collaboration with Chappell Lab and Joff Silberg labs. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/n)

Down to the final 36 hours to register for CINEMA, a free 6 day workshop on environmental and clinical microbiome analysis 🦠💻 🔬 Registration deadline is tomorrow April 28th. Only a couple spots remain, register today if you are interested in attending forms.gle/Aw5N6pGyHWJHJE…

Very proud of Prashant Kalvapalle who defended his SSPB Rice University PhD today on “Using synthetic biology to record information in DNA and RNA within wastewater microbes and communities” and co-advised with Joff Silberg!!

Please RT:  Interested in contributing to a roadmap for the field of living systems as sensors and actuators? On Aug 25-26, there will be a virtual workshop on this topic (2023synbioworkshop.rice.edu). To register, please fill out the following survey (2023synbioworkshop.rice.edu/survey/)

Please RT: BioSciences at Rice University invites applications for three tenure-track, assistant professor positions in the areas of synthetic biology, biophysics, and neuroscience. The link for the application can be found here: apply.interfolio.com/130021

How does a scientist look? Rice University’s Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium shows students that “anybody can be a scientist” and exposes the next generation of scientists to new opportunities – including ones they never thought possible. youtu.be/TpZ_SPlikzI

Simplified soil microbial communities can be model systems for consortia-scale phenotypes. Joff Silberg and colleagues Rice University now establish MeBr as a reporter, simplifying interrogation of these still complex materials. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… #biosensor #soil

I'm incredibly excited to share my 1st, 1st author publication in which we examined the relationship between microbial sensing proteins and geochemical variation in the deep subsurface! A huge thank you to Emm, @ProfMaggie, Joff Silberg, and Carrie Masiello! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

excited for this meeting at Rice University on Feb. 9-10 with pre-conference events Jan. 23-24 news.rice.edu/news/2024/rice…

Such a huge 😮 effort!! & So many 😎 avenues for foundational studies on phage-antibiotic combns, that can make a diff! Personalized bacteriophage therapy outcomes for 100 consecutive cases: a multicentre, multinational, retrospective observational study nature.com/articles/s4156…

What an honor to be chosen for the Priestley Medal. #Enzymes are the best chemists, of course, but the Priestley medalists are no slouches...and include many of my colleagues Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering. Thank you!
