ICYMI: @KeitzLab on 'microdroplet encapsulation' and the ability to isolate or characterize bacteria with important roles in global metal cycling, wastewater treatment, or drug metabolism within the human gut...
⚡️An electrifying start to the New Year! Check out the January issue of AEM, featuring a dynamic cover by artist Ismar Miniel. @TexasCHE and @ut_caee researchers describe the use of microdroplet emulsion sorting to identify new electroactive bacteria⚡️ journals.asm.org/toc/aem/91/…

Happy to add another journal cover to my portfolio, but mostly excited for everyone to read about @GinaPartipilo’s creative application of microfluidics for rapid screening of electroactive bacteria

Submitted my last manuscript of grad school and now I'm starting at the Turnbaugh group to study microbe/drug interactions in the gut at UCSF on Monday! What a great start to 2025! 🦠🔬

Our new paper from co-authors @GinaPartipilo and Sarah Coleman (@LabAlper) outlines the use of a linear mixed effects model for evaluating multi-input gene circuits! And @IsmarButSerious made a web-based platform to run your own new genetic circuits! boolstats.fly.dev/

we got the cover! elated to finally see this in print – huge congrats to @GinaPartipilo, artist extraordinaire @mister1smar, and all the co-authors @KeitzLab @RosalesGroup that made this work possible (1/3)
Our October issue is live! nature.com/nchembio/volumes/… The cover depicts an engineered living material with controllable mechanical properties: Bacteria (orange) embedded in a hydrogel are programmed to control the expression of MtrC which regulates microbial respiration

We are excited to share our latest preprint, led by @matsuri_rojano & @TrevorRSimmons, in which we identify concentration dependent regulation of CsrA on a novel mRNA target and repurpose this interaction to build a genetic BANDPASS Filter. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #WhatStartsHere
