Phase 1: COMPLETE![DAMPLab x Align to Innovate] We just wrapped up the first leg of an exciting collaboration with Align’s Open Datasets Initiative! Together, we’re pushing boundaries of automation by validation new experimental pipelines for protein function assays! Stay tuned!

Congratulations to Molly on her promotion to Senior Lab Technician here at DAMP! Her dedication & expertise have been instrumental in advancing our research, and this new role is a well-earned recognition of her hard work. Excited to see her continue to excel at DAMP Lab!

Congratulations Diana, David, and Kaede! "We're excited to announce our latest paper, 'Component library creation and pixel array generation with micromilled droplet microfluidics,' has been published in Microsystems and Nanoengineering" nature.com/articles/s4137…

Our second book is now available for pre-order. 🎉 Embracing the book's technology theme, we did something special: We encoded the entire book into DNA & packaged it into stainless steel capsules, where it will live for tens of thousands of years. 1,000 copies were made... 🧵

Bio-Innovation Week is back at Boston University for its second year! Bio-Design Week will include International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA), International Workshop on Bio Manufacturing Automation (IWBMA), and Nona Works hackathon! Register bio-innovation-week.org

Compilers help programmers take abstract ideas and reduce them to 1s and 0s that machines understand. We're building Compilers for Biology. Our new Compiler takes antibody sequences as input & designs 8 vectors, boosting titers to 5-11 g/L before bioreactor optimization. Read🔻

DAMP Lab was grateful to attend the @TheBioMADE meeting to hear about exciting projects and groundbreaking work members are engaging in. We are lucky to have a great collaborator in Rabia Yazicigil, who was able to eloquently represent our work with BioMADE in her presentation.

High schoolers from NMHS rocked the Shark Tank-style comp with BU mentors! 🦈✨ Congrats to “Jurassic Plastic,” 3-time gold medalists mentored by DAMP’s Kristen! Big thanks to @STEMPathways & BU Today for the article! 🌊🔗 bu.edu/articles/2024/…

This year's SynBioBeta conference was fantastic! Here are some pictures from some of our favorite moments represented during the panels DAMP's Doug Densmore and BU Professor Rabia Tugce Yazicigil spoke at. Also featuring some @CapraBio members!

Check out DAMP Lab's automated end-to-end protein production workflow, which can be applied to metabolic engineering, protein characterization, and much more!

To all @SynBioBeta attendees today! make sure to clear some time for this exciting panel featuring BU's @RabiaYazicigil. DAMPs had the pleasure of working with Rabia and her team. This panel will definitely be one you don't want to miss! It starts at 2:45 PM PST #synbiobeta

DAMP's Doug Densmore will be replacing Alec Nielsen and speaking at this panel, be sure to tune in TODAY 1:45PM PST/4:45PM EST! linkedin.com/events/achievi…

Excited to be speaking at a panel organized by @SchmidtFutures at @SynBioBeta 2024! Join us for an exciting discussion on unique approaches to sensing designed with biology in mind for autonomous, scalable, and secure biomanufacturing solutions on May 9th at 2:45 pm! @BU_Tweets
