Very happy that Javi and Rakesh's paper has finally come out in @NatureChemistry (link in reply). We use DNA nanotechnology to implement a synthetic molecular templating system - a minimal analog of the processes that are crucial to assembling complex proteins in the cell.

We're hiring! We have a lab-based PhD position available for UK nationals (supported by DSTL) on persistent computation for sense and record applications: https://t.co/1yKjmTulHN

Congratulations to Francesca Smith who's work on sequence dependence in RNA/DNA hybrid strand displacement has (finally!) been published.

Congratulations to Dr Annalise Zouein for successfully defending her PhD today on DNA and RNA based control of mammalian gene expression. Anna was supervised by the brilliant @ceronifranci and was one of Imperial’s first @BioDesignEngCDT students. Very proud of her!

[Ouldridge group @ Imperial @IC_reactions]

Very pleased to see two of our papers come out today. First, Alicia's work on the use of light-up fluorescent RNA aptamers in synthetic biology, a collaboration with @LedesmaAmaro in @IC_CSynBio :

Some exciting news - we're looking for a postdoc with experience in experimental chemistry/molecular biology/DNA nanotechnology to work on novel mechanisms for molecular templating in synthetic systems. We are looking to emulate the most important class of process in nature.

My main takeaway though is that she became a Tory, despite a grim early life in Liverpool, because Thatcher gave her family the right to buy their council flat.

What would be the equivalent rationale for a young, upwardly mobile woman now? I can't think of anything.
