I am very happy to share that my first paper has been published. I was very lucky to have the opportunity of completing the amazing work of previous students in the @KarasLab. cdnsciencepub.com/doi/abs/10…

Newest paper from our lab lead by @Daniel_Nucifora. We show that the entire genome of A. laidlawii can be transferred directly into yeast by cell fusion. Cloning whole genomes in yeast is a key step toward building and engineering synthetic cells.

We have three openings in our lab starting as soon as April 1st :
1 Research Associate
1 Postdoctoral Fellow
1 PhD Student
The team will work on a project that aims to create synthetic plant genomes. For more information, email: [email protected] with the title "Syntato"
