UIUC Ph.D. (BioE) | While I explore my fascinations, I strongly believe there’s a beautiful story stitching along

All these thoughts/questions paved the way for what I do today.

We’ve truly lost a giant. RIP

Craig Venter has been one of the earliest influences in my life, pioneering human genome sequencing and the creation of a minimal genome. “Life is a DNA software system.” "can we build a synthetic chromosome and “boot up” life ?"

We are on the cover of @ScienceAdvances! Illustration showing the isothermal assembly of DNA nanostructures (center triangle) using various metal salts (left). Created at a constant temperature, this process is analogous to the sous vide method of cooking. Image by @Ella_Maru.

The Volkswagen Foundation has a new "Night Science" funding mechanism (!) for "teams of 2 researchers who inspire, complement and challenge each other. The aim is to create a space in which new approaches can emerge - without the pressure to produce immediate results." AMAZING!

[Arun Richard @arunrichardc]

⏰In our new work led by @aarodg & @MadhanG, we assembled DNA nanostructures at constant temperatures in a variety of metal ions, with simulations by Vangaveti lab and cell studies by @BerglundLab.

Fast forward a few years, Toxoplasmosis is being used in delivering large proteins to our brains for therapeutic purposes. It’s interesting to see how seemingly unrelated or fictional biological scenarios can inspire medical advancements.

[Dhanush Gandavadi @DGandavadi]

The first time I read about Toxoplasmosis is from the book 'The Midnight Library,' where it was part of a wild theory suggesting that billionaires were using infected cats to make people less intelligent.

[Dhanush Gandavadi @DGandavadi]

Exciting stuff. 💥💥💥💥

We are excited to share our latest preprint on a new solution to next-generation peptide/protein sequencing.
