“What if genetic gastronomy is the new molecular gastronomy?” - Professor Vayu Hill-Maini @NOFOkitchen at today’s https://t.co/yjhI2q6ru9 seminar. Vayu’s lab is studying how to harness fungi for food and sustainability applications. 🍄‍🟫

Yay! So happy that TLISA is out in the world. I’m super proud of what we accomplished here

[Styczynski Research Group @stygroupGT]

Excited to share our work in @ScienceAdvances! TLISA is a plug-and-play cell-free protein biosensor system developed by @MeganAMcSweeney. We hope this technology is a stepping stone to expand protein detection at the point-of-care! https://t.co/NQYfyLQiG6

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

[Ross D. Jones, PhD @jonesr18]

Excited to announce two upcoming events from @EngBioRC's student and postdoc association!

First, next Thursday Sept 26 @ 2:30 pm PT / 5:30 pm ET we're hosting a workshop to help with writing graduate fellowship applications!

@jastandeven @stygroupGT @MichaelCJewett Thank you, Janet! I will miss working with you and your students. It has been so much fun!

[Megan McSweeney @MeganAMcSweeney]

Thanks to #SEED2024 for a great conference!

[Styczynski Research Group @stygroupGT]

We loved seeing alumnae, grad students, undergrads, and postdocs of the Sty lab present their work this week at #SEED2024. 🧵 for more photos!

[Styczynski Research Group @stygroupGT]

Shout out to our lab alumna @YZhang952 for her new paper on One-Pot PURE 🙌
