Best quote from the GRC so far: "No one believes in a model except the person who makes it, and everyone believes in an experiment except the person who performs it"😆

The public are excited by the images, but astronomers are as excited by the spectra, like this one. I want to talk about why

Delivering and expressing a gene in cells is usually a messy (heterogeneous) process. The messiness interferes with research and applications such as gene therapy. In two new papers, we introduce a toolbox of synthetic miRNA-based control circuits that enable more precise, gene

Bree Aldridge, Ph.D., has been elected to the prestigious American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows for her pioneering work in applying engineering methodologies to advance tuberculosis therapies. Big congrats, Professor! 💙🐘
