Syn-sational work! Congratulations to everyone involved!

Synthetic circuits that program new capabilities into human cells have tremendous potential to expand emerging gene and cell-based therapies. Our latest work, out today in @ScienceMagazine, reports a platform to accelerate these developments: (1/n) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Yesterday was a historic day in plant biotech: a purple tomato engineered with high antioxidants was approved by @USDA @BigPurpleTomato helps prevent cardiovascular disease and fight cancer in humans.
This approval under new regulation ushers in a new era for plant synbio!

My experiences in Dr. Ting Lu's lab documented in the letter attached.
It's not about him. I've cared about him enough during those 18 months of my life. It's about the students.

Therapeutic mRNA for heart failure?!
Our own Joel Rurik (@DevBioAcademic) teamed up with @WeissmanLab to make CAR T cells entirely in the body to treat heart disease.

Re-watching Contact after many years.
Still love the story of a woman scientist searching for the unknown, but at every age I see something new in it. Did this movie and book touch anyone else out there?

Excited to share new work w/ co-lead @CamilliaAzimi, @MarsonLab @kickassscience1 @roybal_lab: using a method we call 'CAR Pooling', we tested many CARs in multiplex & found new non-T cell signaling domains which improve CAR-T efficacy. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… 👇🧵 1/10

'There have been many definitions of synthetic biology over the years, but I especially like the definition offered by my friend and colleague, @meganjpalmer “Synthetic biology is a community, a field, and an approach”.'

A tremendous effort led by Ray, Iowis, and @KoleRoybal! It has been really amazing to watch these new ideas take shape firsthand, and moreover to help develop humanized SNIPRs compatible with our synthetic ZFs (synZiFTRs)

1/4 Excited to share our new preprint from the @roybal_lab & @MoKhalilLab-Raymond Liu and Iowis Zhu led the development of NextGen synNotch receptors. SynNotch is one ‘species’ in a larger ‘genus’ of SyNthetic Intramembrane Proteolysis Receptors (SNIPRs) tinyurl.com/7kf6bdyr
