Meet Alex Kashkin, founder of GeneTiger, a company that produces inexpensive, point-of-care genetic testing devices! Alex recently helped set up coronavirus self-testing at @UTAustin! Read more about his journey below! 👉ellingtonlab.org/meet-alex-k…

Danny Diaz, instructed by Drs. Andy Ellington & Eric Anslyn, has passed Ph.D. prelim exams and will begin working on his doctoral dissertation, using AI & machine learning to create a tool that can detect life!🧪🔬 Read more about his research goals: 👉ellingtonlab.org/news

Join us at noon (CST) today in live-streaming AMD CTO/EVP and @utexasece alumnus Mark Papermaster's talk on modern-day innovation! youtu.be/5MeJvG7lYHU @UTCompSci #WhatStartsHere #utaustin #TexasEngineering

⚠️Flu season is upon us!⚠️Prof. Deji Akinwande of @utexasece and Prof. Andy Ellington of @TexasScience are developing a graphene-based dual-virus biosensor that simultaneously tests for influenza and SARS-CoV-2. Read more about their research!👉ellingtonlab.org/news

The RT-qPCR assay is the gold standard for SARS-CoV-2 detection but uses multiple enzymes and is thus quite complex. In a revolutionary move, the Ellington Lab has simplified it to operate with just a single enzyme. @TexasScience @ut_mbs @UTChemistry 👉 ellingtonlab.org/news

At SynCell 2020, a global conference on synthetic cell technology, Dr. Ellington chaired a distinguished international panel on 'Future synthetic cell technologies for mitigation of viral pandemics.' @UNM @buildacell #SYNCELL2020 #synbio @TexasScience 👉ellingtonlab.org/news

Will machines surpass humanity one day?🧠🤖Professor Ellington predicts that in #TheNext50 years, we will have to adapt our own neural nets to catch up to machines. Read his predictions for the future: ellingtonlab.org/news @TexasScience @ut_mbs @ut_neuroscience @UTAustin

The Ellington Lab has partnered with Reclone.org—an international biotechnology collaboration network—to share valuable resources in an effort to quell the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. @reclone_org @UTAustin @TexasScience @CockrellSchool 👉ellingtonlab.org/news

Congratulations to our 2020 Dean's Honored Graduates! This year, three seniors from the Ellington Lab were awarded this great accolade (restricted to less than 1% of the graduating class). Pictured: Jose-Angel Torres, Matthew Duncan, and Vylan Nguyen! 👉👉ellingtonlab.org/news

The Ellington Lab's research has yielded that isothermal amplification LAMP-OSD assays are better, simpler alternatives to the better-known PCR technique for quickly detecting SARS-CoV-2 (by bright fluorescence as shown). Read more here: ellingtonlab.org/news
