“If we could plant our seeds in Chernobyl or Fukushima, we could make that land usable again and eventually grow food there”
If you love bold missions, this is going to be fun reading. @FranklinKeck @IonChemBio on a journey to cure land polluted by industrial activities

Check out our new technology to assemble nucleus-like structures in synthetic cells, where genetic constructs control nucleus/cytoplasm communication. Led by @IonChemBio out now, in @PNASNews

Thank you @PNASNews ! Cover image by me 🤗
Researchers engineered synthetic cells with inner compartments resembling nuclei, by using an oil and water layering technique, potentially paving the way for biotech microdevices. In PNAS: ow.ly/aO2b50Ta5Er

Check out our latest paper in @JACS_Au describing novel methods to measure actin biophysics using FLIM & show that actin binding influences SynCell membrane mechanics. Kudos to superstar PhD student @IonChemBio & collabs @KuimovaGroup + @NickBrooks22

Excited to see one of my PhD projects published in JACS Au today! Co-authored by my amazing PhD supervisors @YuvalElani, Marina Kuimova and @NickBrooks22 within @impchemistry!

Very glad I took part in this work, elaborated within the @buildacell workshops and featured on the cover of @ACSSynBio vol. 13, issue 4 (April 19, 2024). Congrats to all authors and many thanks to @lynnjrothschild for taking the lead!

Today's @buildacell Workshop 10 is extremely productive, with energy carried over from #SynCell2023. Working groups are producing papers and frameworks on different important community problems.

In 2018, three colleagues and I published a front-cover paper in @PNASNews
It has > 170 citations as of 2022, and it was a success that might not have happened:
• We had $0 budget
• We had no PI (Principal Investigator)
• We had no credentials
[Here's how we did it] 🧵

Can you engineer new capabilities into bacteria without genetic engineering?
Yes! - Check our new @PNASNews paper where we use artificial cells that communicate with bacteria!
