Mary Dunlop

Congratulations to Prof. Elise Morgan, who will be the Interim Dean of the College of Engineering! She will be the first woman to lead the College of Engineering in it's 50+ year history! #BostonUniversity #WomenInSTEM

This is the lineup for the Synthetic Microbiology Panel at the 2023 BBM! We've assembled an incredible group of experts thanks @iremozkani. Join us to hear from brilliant scientists like @DunlopLab, @dsegre, and @rebecca_sherbo. Don't miss out! #syntheticmicrobiology #BBM2023

Is phenotypic variation functional? Stoked about our latest preprint spearheaded by the amazing Anne-Stephanie @DMF_UNIL @unil in collaboration with a fantastic team of people @vrrenske @suryad26 @santosmoreno_j @LalouxLab @YSchaerli @WeiserLabNYU biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am super excited to share our latest work published in @nchembio This is a story about synthetic microbial communities that helps us understand microbial interactions and construct better biofactories! #synbio #meteng Full paper: nature.com/articles/s4158… Summary below 👇🏼

@GallowayLabMIT @FrancoLabUCLA @mary It was so much fun to chat about biological control systems with with you two and to catch up after a long time apart! We need to do a full Biocontrol journal club reunion.

A few members of the Caltech Biocontrol reading group reunited for control toward engineering living systems. Making friends who share a passion for research was one of the best parts of grad school. @FrancoLabUCLA @mary

@AllisonLopatkin I did this about a year apart and also rate it 0/10, but you are awesome and it will (eventually) be ok. Be kind to yourself and also forgiving. Also, congratulations on multiple fronts!!

0/10 do not recommend having a baby and moving cities and moving your research lab and starting a new job in the same month

@johntngo Thank you John!

Registration for BBM2023 is now open! 🧪Abstracts submissions are due April 30th 🧫Online registration ends on May 31st You can register here: bostonbacterial.org/registration/

@pratt_ed @AmericanCancer @BUMedicine Amazing! Congratulations!!!

@ProfTomEllis @Marcus_waal Beautiful!

In our work on engineered living materials, a question we ask ourselves is ‘How can we use synthetic biology to make materials more sustainable?’ In our new preprint, Marcus Walker @Marcus_waal answers this with ‘Bacterial Black Sheep’. How? Read on… 🧵⬇️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/ Very excited to share my first PhD paper out in cell reports!! We show that oxidative stress response heterogeneity in E. coli arises from short range cell-cell interactions. cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Our latest paper is out! Light-inducible expression of antibiotic resistance genes. Led by @biotaxis, with help from @NathanTague2. Constructs are on @Addgene if you want to try them out.

❗ Nominations are open until Feb. 19 for the 2023 ACS Synthetic Biology Young Innovator Award! The award honors a young scientist who has made a major impact on synthetic biology or related fields. Learn more and submit your nomination: go.acs.org/3IA

@UWChemE @BostonU_BME I had a great time visiting! It was a lot of fun to catch up with @SyntBio @seeliglab @klavins (+ @SangWooSeo_SNU) and many others.

Today we welcome Mary Dunlop @DunlopLab, @BostonU_BME assoc prof, to present our department seminar! She'll discuss her work on optogenetic feedback control of gene expression and antibiotic resistance in single cells -- tinyurl.com/20230109Dunlop

Excited to share our new study on mapping single-cell and population-level responses of bacterial responses to antibiotics. Congratulations to Kyeri Kim, who led the study, and all the coauthors (@Emrah__Simsek @helena_r_ma, @Armavica, and others). (1/n)

Interested in ‘data-centric’ bioengineering? The EBRC-SPA is hosting an industry panel discussion with professionals who operate and lead in this space! Join us virtually on December 6th, 2022 (2-3pm ET | 11-12pm PT) on GatherTown by registering here: ebrc.org/ebrc-spa-prese…

Sebas' PhD paper on automated turbidostats and optogenetics, secretion sweetspots and secretory burnout state, and on cybergenetics has just been posted on bioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #labautomation, #optogenetics, #bioproduction, #synbio, #cybergenetics

@JoffSilberg @AjoFranklinLab @meeeeechigan @su2lin_SEU Congrats Joff and Caroline and team!

Super excited that our paper with @ajofranklinlab, i.e., CAF, is out (doi.org/10.1038/s41586…) with @meeeeechigan, @su2lin_SEU, Xu Zhang, and George Bennett. Congrats to all!!!
