Biotechnology has so much promise but sometimes poses risks. Fortunately, we can use engineering to lower risks. In our latest paper largely from george church's lab, we show that synthetic auxotrophy holds up over time. Life doesn't always find a way #synbio advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/27/e…

The epsilon variant of #SARSCoV2, first detected California, carries three spike protein mutations that confer resistance to neutralizing antibodies generated by mRNA vaccines or by #SARSCoV2 infection, according to new research in Science. fcld.ly/2cej8vt

With $15 million in private funding, a new company called Colossal is trying to edit elephant DNA to genetically resurrect the woolly mammoth, thousands of years after it went extinct. nyti.ms/3nuA6GU

A paper I authored discussing current technical aspects of biosecurity was recently published as a chapter in the book: Emerging Threats of Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

Paul Nurse, who won a Nobel for his work on the cell cycle, calls for more daring theory in biology and criticizes current trends in large scale data generation. We probably need to reimagine the Discussion section of papers! nature.com/articles/d4158…

In work led by Devon Stork & in collaboration between Ethan Garner & george church, we report site-specific incorporation of a variety of non-standard amino acids in Bacillus subtilis for several purposes including interrogation of bacterial cytokinesis. Now out in Nature Communications (1/2)

Our group (led by Prof. Douglas Densmore) is #hiring a Research Systems Engineer II to maintain and develop computational tools and manage IT systems for #microfluidics, lab #automation, and #synbio. Check out the post here: bu.silkroad.com/epostings/inde…
