We traveled to DC to talk to Congressional Staffers about the impact of @NIH @NIBIBgov funding. It enables us to develop synthetic biology tools to advance cell & genetic medicines for patients in need. REPOST to deliver the message that SCIENCE saves lives & makes America great!

Antibodies are important therapeutics, but producing them in bacteria has been difficult due to glycosylation. w/ @mattdelisa @BelenSotomayor5 we discovered an enzyme that can glycosylate the native Fc acceptor sequence. Pretty cool. @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…

No City fireworks this year? Chicago residents say, "Hold my beer". #chicago

Cowan and his team achieved over 3 g/L of mevalonate from formate, demonstrating bioproduction through the electrical reduction of CO2 or by lignin depolymerization. Decarbonizing manufacturing is within reach! Read more here: nature.com/articles/s4146… (2/2)

We're thrilled to share the work by our very own PhD candidate, Aidan Cowan, on high-titer bioproduction from renewable C1 feedstocks in engineered bacteria. This work is fundamental for a sustainable bioeconomy. Read more here, live on @NatureComms (1/2): nature.com/articles/s4146…

Nothing like fireworks on the lake… ⁦@NorthwesternU⁩

There are just a few weeks left to submit your nominations for the 2025 Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program. Details on the award and nomination process are available at: dreyfus.org/henry-dreyfus-…

Poster abstract submissions for #SBA2025 are closing on 18th July - get yours in now! See you in Wellington in November #syntheticbiology #synbio #conference @SynBioAusAsia

Excited to share some key findings from our latest research in @NatureMicrobiol reporting intra-cellular accumulation of #PFAS (aka forever chemicals) by certain human gut bacteria. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Caching up today with the amazing ⁦@akarimlab⁩ ⁦@NUSynBio⁩ today…

Congratulations to Dr. Caleb Lay on completing his PhD. ⁦@NUSynBio⁩

An exciting week for Engineering Biology in the UK is kicked off with announcement of major commitments by the Government’s Dept of Science Innovation & Technology on both EngBio R&D (£196m initial investment) and scale-up capacity in the UK (£184m initial investment). 👏 🇬🇧 👏

Excited to be kicking off Day 2 of #SEED2025 tomorrow... synbioconference.org/2025/technical…
