I am glad that our recent work on photobiosynthesis was highlighted by Nature: Light-powered bacteria become living chemical factories https://t.co/NiBurHdLbv

[Huimin Zhao @HuiminZhaoLab]

Congrats to the team led by Yujie and Maolin for successfully integrating new-to-nature photoenzymes into cellular metabolism, published in @NatureCatalysis (https://t.co/GvIDIxuX8z). This work lays the groundwork for ab initio biosynthesis design & programmable biomanufacturing.

Congrats to Nilmani, Steve, Tianhao, Jingxia, Adrianna, and Ocean for developing an AI-powered autonomous protein engineering platform (https://t.co/Ssos4Al8Hz). See news release: https://t.co/px1iHFhDZw).

[Huimin Zhao @HuiminZhaoLab]

Exited to learn that my NSF global center proposal was selected for funding (https://t.co/AspCGA6ANu). With this grant, we will be able to collaborate with researchers from other countries to establish standards and metrics for biofoundries and democratize biofoundry.

[Huimin Zhao @HuiminZhaoLab]

I am very pleased that NSF is now investing in biofoundries after we established the first integrated biofoundry in the world more than 10 years ago (https://t.co/p3KMzfREaW). Also see News from UIUC (https://t.co/JerW9vITAJ).

It was nice to attend another AI related expo in the same building after attending an expo for all 24 NSF AI institutes last September. Enjoyed talking to staff from various lawmakers’ offices to promote the emerging AI+Robotics+SynBio area. https://t.co/pAR10SbmzN

[Huimin Zhao @HuiminZhaoLab]

Thanks to the hard work by Daniel, Zhixin, Nilmani and Jingxia, a simple strategy has been developed to create a Cas12a system that outperforms the most widely used Cas9 system. https://t.co/acGhomZYRg. Also see news release: https://t.co/4EitkbVnAR.

[Huimin Zhao @HuiminZhaoLab]

Congrats to Hengqian, Chunshuai, and the team for discovering and characterizing a novel bioactive RiPP-fatty acid hybrid molecule (https://t.co/bUSG8avxzo). This work has opened a new avenue for finding novel bioactive RiPPs (https://t.co/XQzMMRKEVb).
