I am very honored to get this recognition of “Rising Stars in Plant Sciences” 🌟🌱Thank you so much @MPlantPCom and all Demirer lab members for doing the hard work of research!!

[Katie Galloway @GallowayLabMIT]

on unimodal setpoints and how to get them from synthetic promoters...

tweetorial coming soon...

or see you next Thursday #SEED2024 in Atlanta...

Stay tuned for more control systems coming soon...

The second student of the Demirer lab, @Amelia_Yunqing, has just passed her candidacy exam last week!
Congrats, Yunqing!! So well deserved and I’m very proud to be your advisor 🤩🌿

[Gözde S. Demirer @Demirer_GozdeS]

@Mark_Legendre21 and I are on our way to AIChE @ChEnected! This is Mark’s debut to the AIChE community!! Come see his poster on Monday 3:30pm board #111 discussing our recent work on genetically encoded delivery vehicles for plants.

Looking forward to catching up with all!

[American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) @ChEnected]

Congrats to Gözde Demirer, an Assistant Professor @Caltech, for being named one of the 2023 #AIChE35Under35! Demirer’s lab focuses on the engineering of plants and the rhizosphere. Learn more about her lab and the other recipients of the award: https://t.co/VgaIElM3ge

[Gözde S. Demirer @Demirer_GozdeS]

First time at the #plantbio2023! Excited to meet with new 🌱 folks and catch up with friends and colleagues.

Also presenting some cool preliminary research from my lab at the "Towards a sustainable future" symposium tomorrow. Stop by and/or DM to chat if you are around :)

[Matthew J. Webber @WebberLab]

Jeff was a fantastic and brilliant colleague. I appreciated his optimism and perspective. I always enjoyed and learned a great deal from our many wide-ranging conversations, from smoking meat to real estate to best practices in teaching. He will be greatly missed! @NDCBE

Want to sequence RNA from cells without killing them or deliver RNA programs from cell to cell? Today in Cell, we present RNA exporters, which package and secrete cellular RNA, for non-destructively monitoring cell dynamics by sequencing and delivering RNA https://t.co/JG1mzYvLgb

[Landry Lab @Landry_Lab]

Aaand a third cover in a row! We should go to Vegas! Congratulations to @RoxCoreas and @MoriMahmoudi on this fun collaboration.

[Mikhail Shapiro (same on bsky) @mikhailshapiro]

Honey, we shrunk the #gasvesicles!
Congrats to @bill_ling et al on a new class of Truly Tiny ultrasound agents with dimensions of ~60nm. They're small but mighty - producing ultrasound contrast, seeding therapeutic cavitation, and getting into tumors. https://t.co/kaTV7EtRrA

[Mark Legendre @Mark_Legendre21]

@Demirer_GozdeS @Amelia_Yunqing Passing the torch back to you! Good luck and show Ventura all the awesome science we’re exploring!

[Mikhail Shapiro (same on bsky) @mikhailshapiro]

Can you express multiple genes from a single mRNA at programmable ratios without long intervening sequences or peptide overhangs? 🤔 Yes, with SEMPER! 😉 Congrats @mtduan, @ishaanjdev and coauthors on this new tech for mammalian synbio & gene therapy. https://t.co/iJgHuNmMR2
