Grateful to work with the wonderful @Vilcek Foundation and the super talented @HIROKI_OTSUKA on a short manga highlighting our research and my journey as an immigrant scientist! 🧪🦠🧬 vilcek.org/news/microbes-…
🧬 Fighting bad guys…one microbe at a time! @harriswangnyc, is a synthetic biology superhero, winner of our 2022 Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science, and the star of our latest manga comic. From reprogramming E. coli to reshaping medicine, Wang's story proves…
Happy to share our new paper in @NatureMicrobiol on mapping spatial relationships of the human gut microbiome. We identified distinct spatial hubs between gut bacteria that reflect sub-community assemblies at the micron-scale. Led by Miles Richardson & co nature.com/articles/s4156…
nature.com/articles/s4158… Awesome new paper from Shan Za and @ColumbiaBiochem and systems biology colleague Chaolin Zhang @chaolinzhang
Awesome work @LomvardasLab !!
rdcu.be/el185 Thrilled to see this out! Solid phase transitions hold interchromosomal enhancer hubs together for life. The amazing @JoanPulupa and Natalie McArthur combined forces to discover a new type of condensate that remains intact for days in olfactory neurons
Learn and experience how to use next-generation DNA sequencing to study microbes in the world around you! Register for Exploring the Microbiome with @harriswangnyc: loom.ly/9_Zm3EU
This is such a cool paper and technology!! Congrats!! Great to see it in print!!

Plz RT: my lab has 14 exciting new openings available now to work on different aspects of synthetic genomics. cailab.org/open-positions/
Genome-scale design, build and test. Crossing synbio (multimodal HT measurements over time, space) x AI (de novo and variant designs). Applications to organoids, plants & animals.
If we (@DARPA) were to organize a workshop on frontiers in #SynBio, what topics would you want to see covered? Who would you like to hear from? Also ALWAYS looking for talented PMs (our science/tech intrapreneurs). Shape the future of SynBio! --> buff.ly/4huaHX0 🫡🇺🇸
Join us in June for the 2025 SEED meeting! The organizing committee has some great speakers lined up! Abstracts are due March 23rd! synbioconference.org/2025
The Dept. of Biological Sciences @Columbia is searching for an #AssistantProfessor in #biochemistry. (biochemical/biophysical approaches studying protein/nucleic acid function and dynamics, metabolism, microbial biology, or cancer biology) Please include a 1-page anonymized…
