BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on ScienceInsider.


Genetic context OUTSIDE of the promoter region can have a strong impact on gene expression in E.coli. Pleased to share my work in Freddolino Lab and with Chase Lindeboom.

Latest #CDlab paper online in Nature Nanotechnology: nature.com/articles/s4156… In this review paper, a broad consortium of nanopore scientists was brought together by Yitao Long/Yi-Tao LONG Lab to review many nanopore-based technologies that go beyond DNA sequencing: sensing, catalysis, biomimetics, etc.


Paper Alert 🚀!!! Join our molecular time travel! Resurrection of billion year old #enzymes by Luca Schulz, Georg Hochberg, and SYBORG together with Oliver Mueller-Cajar from NTU Singapore shows how primeval #Rubisco was prepared to deal with oxygen: s.gwdg.de/xh2hyF


New pub on nature today on reporting a living bioelectronic sensor that can detect contaminants in riverine water within two minutes. Congrats the team! Josh Atkinson Lin Su Joff Silberg, Xu Zhang, George Bennett nature.com/articles/s4158…

We are excited to share our new preprint, led by Justin Peruzzi, demonstrating that we can recapitulate bacterial two component systems (an important signal transduction pathway in bacteria) in synthetic membranes! tinyurl.com/mr2h4r8s 1/6




New research published today in Nature Communications by WoolfsonLab in collaboration with Rosa Biotech describes the biosensing technology behind Rosa and demonstrates its potential for the detection of chronic diseases like #NAFLD and #NASH. Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4146…


Check out Christine A. Ziegler's new Lrp paper! "Escherichia coli Leucine-Responsive Regulatory Protein Bridges DNA In Vivo and Tunably Dissociates in the Presence of Exogenous Leucine" can be found here: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

My first ever conference and a great opportunity to share our work on 'A Genetic Module for In vitro Membrane Protein Integration' at the #synbio workshop TU Darmstadt Centre for Synthetic Biology @TUDarmstadt . Scott Scholz SYBORG


Our poster safely made it back to the SYBORG gallery. Thanks to TU Darmstadt for organizing the #synbio workshop, inviting amazing speakers, and giving Dr. MartineBallinger 🇪🇺 , Scott Scholz and me the chance to present our work on the use of #microfluidics for studying #nanopores!



Our latest paper by Ren Ren and Shenglin Cai et al. in Nature Communications Multiplexed detection of viral antigen and RNA using nanopore sensing and encoded molecular probes another great collaboration with @IvanovGroup and Prof Korchev and more... nature.com/articles/s4146…



We are hiring a PhD The University of Edinburgh School of Engineering to work on the bottom-up design and construction of synthetic cells using #microfluidics and #lipid membranes. Lab is based at the Institute for Bioengineering. #synbio eng.ed.ac.uk/studying/degre… Please RT!

Glad to see my main PhD project finally out Nature Microbiology nature.com/articles/s4156… We show for the first time that a synthetic and engineered pathway can indeed exceed nature at one-carbon fixation.
