Congrats to Shota, Tommy and all co-authors! Connecting metabolism with TX/TL will be an important stepping stone towards building sustainable synthetic cell🦠
Excited to announce that @kamerlinlab, Marie Skepö and I were awarded a @NASA Exobiology research grant! 🎉 If you are an experimentalist interested in studying protein histories as a graduate student (@ELSI_origins) or PostDoc (@BlueMarbleSpace) in the Longo Lab, get in touch!
Happy to share our recent results led by Fukunaga san, a former lab member, now has his own group since Jan 2025 at Miyazaki. Novel and orthogonal riboswitches that can be used in the cell-free system were developed. educ.titech.ac.jp/bio/news/2025_…
Excited to announce that @preinerin, @colemathis__ and I were awarded an @HFSP research grant! 🎉 If you are an experimentalist interested in studying protein histories as a graduate student in the Longo Lab @ELSI_origins, please get in touch.
