My project all through the semester: nothing works, not fun, terrible time.
My project the week and a half before break: really interesting, very fun, a great time. Pretty rude of it if you ask me. It must know I am leaving

You might have missed it among other news from DC in the past couple of days but the House just passed the Engineering Biology Research and Development Act of 2019! 🧬🦠🧫🔬 https://t.co/KRoBB60bcP

Congrats to our lab’s newest @UVABME PhD candidate, Nate! 🎉

Go Madison! 👏🏼

UVA chemical engineering professor Bryan Berger is investigating the use of industrial hemp to rid the planet of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. https://t.co/U2yJdblPJX

A new way to control microbial metabolism:
Chemical engineers program bacteria to switch between different metabolic pathways, boosting their yield of desirable products. https://t.co/BKawtSzrqk #synbio #biotech #microbiology #biotechnology

[UVA Engineering @UVAEngineers]

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances are chemicals used in a huge number of consumer products. They have contaminated soil and water. Prof. Bryan Berger and his research team are investigating a natural solution to this manmade problem: https://t.co/oeHXJVn6Xr

For CRISPR-based genome editing, such a moment occurred 1 year ago—an unsettling push into an era that will test how society decides to use this revolutionary technology.

PFAS are widely used chemicals linked to serious health issues. Prof. Bryan Berger's lab is doing great work with industrial hemp to clean it up from the environment. Kudos to @BergerEngineer and Ph.D. student Madison Mann! Great UVA Today story: https://t.co/G2kAPUnXMs

[Marianna Limas @mnlimas]

Feat could turn bacteria into biological factories for energy and even food. https://t.co/lJs5ZTlNxN #synbio #biotech #climatechange #microbiology

They grew!!!!!

[BergerLab @BergerLabUVA]

Every day I walk into lab with my fingers crossed that something grew where it was supposed to or didn’t grow where it’s NOT supposed to 🤞🏻

Still perfect!

We are a bulleted list type of people

[BergerLab @BergerLabUVA]

Check out the #BergerLab bringing #biotech to the next generation of #STEM students!

[Bill Epling @uvachechair]

Prof. Berger welcomed 7 Robious Elementary 5th-graders interested in biotech to his class led by BME Ph.D. student Nate Sallada during a field trip to UVA capping their study of colleges and careers! Teacher and UVA alum Morgan Saxby sat in with the students.

[AP Health & Science @APHealthScience]

The first attempt in the U.S. to use a gene editing tool called CRISPR against cancer seems safe in the three patients who have had it so far. https://t.co/fYDytcP1Mi

[BergerLab @BergerLabUVA]

With proposal, manuscript, and grant writing season in full swing, we know this feeling all too well!

A #BergerLab haiku:

Doing PCR
Do we need dNTPs?
Darn it— we are out. 🧬

[UVA Engineering @UVAEngineers]

Chemical engineering Prof. Bryan Berger is part of a collaboration with @UVA and @UVa_Wise researchers using their work to spur economic development in Southwest Virginia through an Appalachian Prosperity Project fellowship. Read more: https://t.co/W6rbfDNrQM
