Big news from @NUSynBio - today we launch our new approach to teach #syntheticbiology @NatureComms
nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Framing #synbio across scales allows anyone to learn this exciting field
Integrating the societal scale promotes responsible innovation
To the future!

Excited to announce that I will be joining @NorthwesternEng and @nu_chbe as an Assistant Professor in Jan 2025! We work at the intersection of synthetic biology and process engineering toward a bio-enabled, sustainable future. Let's discover together! #synbio #newPI @NUSynBio
We may have been just outside of the path of totality, but it was awesome watching the eclipse on the Northwestern lakefill with these awesome lab mates and moon-themed snacks! (And also getting absolutely destroyed by Keith at croquet!)

CSB makes #research collaborations across campus easy by creating shared lab spaces where new ideas can flourish. Two great examples are the 11th-floor Simpson Querrey Institute & new space in Mudd Library. bit.ly/3IDgI3R @MrksichGroup @DTELab @ResearchNU

Aromatic natural products synthesis from aromatic lignin monomers using Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Very glad to get this one out there! Genuinely think it can make an impact on how we think about lignin upgrading. @tyolabnu
Just some future (and current!) dog-tors at the Tyo lab hangout tonight! #GradSchool #postdoc #LabCommunity #WinstonTheBeagle #WhatsTheBestBerry – at Chicago, IL

Lots of friendly faces to warm us up on this chilly June morning! Thanks to all who attended our Commencement reception. We can't wait to see what our wonderful grads do next!
We had a (future) subject matter expert visit group meeting today, and he found Tracey’s research update absolutely riveting! #LabDog #beagle #WinstonTheBeagle @CatMajors
Congratulations to Tyo lab #postdoc @CatMajors on receiving a K99/R00 fellowship for her work engineering protein signaling networks in vitro!!
We are excited to have her in the lab for another year! – at Evanston, IL

Very, very happy to have this out there! Ton of combined work from @BhanNamita, @amofpeace, and me. Hopefully folks will see what we are trying to accomplish and build on this! Huge challenge. We need more working on! @tyolabnu biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Happy Grad Student Appreciation Week! Feeling thankful for our dedicated, warm, and brilliant grad students who put in hard work every day as TAs and researchers.
We're sharing the love w/ a department-sponsored coffee break tomorrow @ 1pm!
Congratulations to Tyo Lab postdoc @CatMajors for this award! She has worked diligently during her time in the lab to not only build up a strong research program but also to support @NorthwesternU #postdocs through her service with @NUPostdocs! Bravo!! – at Evanston, IL

We happy to share our recent work by @TheTimVu and @lucasesantanna demonstrating the power of lipid phase segregation to change the spatial presentation of targeting ligands and modulate nanoparticle binding to target cells. Great job Tim and Lucas!
Publication alert! I had the privilege working with a talented undergrad @lucasesantanna (co-first) in the @NehaPKamat lab on increasing targeted nanoparticle avidity by mimicking lipid rafts. Can't wait to see what he will do in his PhD next!

Hot off the press! Check out the latest work from (recently defended!!) grad student Jake Martin on a dynamic model of cell-free metabolism and butanol synthesis that revealed metabolic interactions and new strategies for product optimization
