We can't wait to follow #synbiofortheplanet for updates on @LuckLab progress in the field! Stay tuned #syntheticbiologists !

Isn't it great when the innovations of #syntheticbiology have real world impact? Thanks to support from U.S. National Science Foundation & now Senator Dick Durbin, we are piloting at-home biosensors to detect #lead in drinking #water . See coverage by CBS Chicago for eligibility criteria. Northwestern CSB Northwestern

Julius The Lucks Lab gave a phenomenal talk from fundamental science to RNA engineering for global health! What an inspiring talk! Northwestern CSB Northwestern Norwich RNA Club The RNA Society Lexogen John Innes Centre UEA Biological Sciences Earlham Institute Alper Akay Wilfried Haerty

Are you a Northwestern graduate student interested in synthetic biology? Our call for applications is now open! bit.ly/3xDds6D

Northwestern CSB and SynBio Africa are thrilled to announce the first recipient of the inaugural Research Experience for Africans Fellowship, George Peter Magoola from #Uganda ! We look forward to welcoming him this summer. bit.ly/49sjjZI

What if we could harness sequence-optimized versions of ribosomes for #biotechnology and #syntheticbiology ? Now ACS Central Science, Camila Kofman Ashty Karim Northwestern CSB @StanfordBioE show that ribosome pool engineering can be used to optimize protein biosynthesis 👇

CSB researchers identified functional differences between natively occurring ribosomal RNA which suggests that ribosome pool engineering could be used to improve many protein biomanufacturing systems & understanding of ribosome heterogeneity & evolution. bit.ly/4aD7iS7

CSB researchers engineered glycosyltransferases by screening >50,000 reactions to increase the efficiency of glycosylation of three protein therapeutics. Their work promises to expand the substrates amenable to in vitro and bacterial glycoengineering.” bit.ly/3J2Ezuf

It's #WorldWaterDay season y'all! To celebrate, we've planned 2 big events. #1 we've teamed up w/ CSIS Food & Water Security Program to make public 40 #waterinsecurity country profiles w/ Gallup World Poll data. @CSIS has brought their sweet #dataviz skills to make data intx possible. #WISE_scales

Northwestern CSB opened its doors to New Trier HS students last Friday for tours, talks, lunch, and hands-on science using BioBits® turning DNA into proteins. So fun sharing our science with tomorrow's innovators! #syntheticbiology #molecularbiology #biologicalengineering #STEM

🚨 Postdoc Job Alert! Microbiologists? Biochemists? Curious about or enjoy studying microbes doing cool things? Aristilde Lab @ Northwestern Engineering is hiring a postdoc to study carbon waste metabolism inside bacterial cells or secreted vesicles. Start date: Summer/ Fall 2024. #metabolism

CSB makes #research collaborations across campus easy by creating shared lab spaces where new ideas can flourish. Two great examples are the 11th-floor Simpson Querrey Institute & new space in Mudd Library. bit.ly/3IDgI3R The Mrksich Research Group Tullman-Ercek Lab NorthwesternResearch

Amazing news for Northwestern CSB startup Pearl Bio cofounded by Michael C. Jewett. The company which counts famed entrepreneur george church as one of its scientific advisers, uses ”genomically recoded organisms” to add synthetic chemistry to biologics.

A new study by Northwestern CSB member Ludmilla Aristilde Aristilde Lab @ Northwestern Engineering could help researchers predict which soil chemistries are most favorable for trapping carbon — potentially leading to soil-based solutions for slowing human-caused climate change. tinyurl.com/3rprcd32
