The Deans Lab

Our lab builds gene circuits to reprogram cells. We love all cells equally, but spend most of our time engineering stem cells. Account run by students.

Such a proud moment! @TheScienceMage getting some teaching experience under his belt giving a workshop lecture on aligning and blasting sequences in my #SynBio synbio class! Great job Shwan!

[The Deans Lab @DeansSynBioLab]

The amazing @TheScienceMage is at it again! He's been in the lab for 18 months (is that right?) and has just published a great review (👇🏼)! He gets to add this to his collection of publications including a @NatureComms and a @TrendsinPharma paper.

I'm very happy to share an early online version of a review with one of my very talented PhD students, @TheScienceMage. We ❤️ #SynBio and #engineeringreceptors https://t.co/9wLgs7VmWJ

.@TravisSeamons @bacteria_boyy @TheScienceMage @genegirl007 and co in the @DeansSynBioLab demonstrate regulation of prokaryotic gene expression using a eukaryotic transcriptional activator

I'm so happy to share this exciting work! We have reversed the current trend of moving genetic parts from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and show that an activating eukaryotic transcription factor can control gene expression in bacteria. https://t.co/vZIZJzlD7S

Here's an article worth reading on some steps to counter systematic bias right now. For most of us, you can change 'field' to 'lab'. My favorite lines? "You're a leader. Just do something." https://t.co/wxglHTilAO

Well deserved! Congratulations!

We can't wait!

[Dr. Tara Deans (she/her) @genegirl007]

Don’t miss out on the virtual Mammalian SynBio Workshop! We have exciting talks from @brittaspen @alectricity @LizWaynePhD @GallowayLabMIT @LucksLab @nmontlab & more! We will also have a “Jobs in the age of COVID” session. Abstract deadline is Nov. 7th! https://t.co/FOMNnoG8se.

I am so proud of two undergrads in my lab: @Kylie_Persson and @TravisSeamons who both won scholarships for a third semester of UROP (Rocky Mountain Power Scholarship and the Parent Fund Undergrad Research Scholarship, respectively)!

[Dr. Tara Deans (she/her) @genegirl007]

Thanks to @Rice_BIOE for the opportunity to give their department seminar! Enjoyed catching up with @isaacbhilton, meeting with grad students @TheSynBioGuy, @walters_aj101 , and others.

[Dr. Tara Deans (she/her) @genegirl007]

What a great surprise! It was just announced that @NehaPKamat, Seunghyun Sim, and I will be chairing this exciting session @SFBiomaterials! Submit abstracts by Nov 10th for the bargain and by Nov 20th to be a part of the fun discussing this cutting edge topic!

[Dr. Tara Deans (she/her) @genegirl007]

A HUGE congratulations to @yonglinkong who was just awarded an #NIHtrailblazer award! @UtahMech @UUtah @UtahCoE
