This is a rigorous quantitative study on how to design and functionalize protein condensates to make synthetic organelles for biotechnological applications. Congratulations Mack (@M_T_Walls)!! Your tour de force studies are paying off!
I am beyond thrilled to be able to share my first first-author manuscript! 🥳 It has been a long time coming! Wouldn't have been possible without all of the help and support from Kevin Xu, @javalosLAB, & @brangwynnelab. Stay tuned for more! https://t.co/AxlWEPkl0Y
Proud to share a preprint describing the optoPlateReader (oPR), a device for optogenetics, spectroscopy, and feedback control in *each well* of a 96-well plate. Tremendous effort by our ugrad @iGEM team. Led by Saachi Datta and team mentor @WillBenman. 👇

Our paper on isobutanol/isopentanol biosensor in yeast is finally out: https://t.co/c49tWJZ1CU. No longer screening in the dark for strains to produce these biofuels. Kudos to @yan_fei_zhang@JeremyCortez3, Sarah Hammer, @Ceslopezg, Sergio Garcia-Echauri for their awesome work.
I am delighted to share this review on the role of physiology in microbial metabolic engineering. It was a great experience writing it with @JoseMontLo and @Duranigrade. Thanks also to the editors @NatureRevMicro.

If you're interested in optogenetics with a dash of metabolic engineering (or metabolic engineering with a dash of optogenetics), you can't do better than Jose's lab! A great mentor with great ideas.
I am very grateful to the DOE (@doescience) as well as Project-X from Princeton SEAS (@EPrinceton), which supported us for the preliminary data -- Thank you!!
#PrincetonU researcher José Avalos has been awarded funding from the Dept. of Energy (@DOEscience) for chemical and biofuel research. The award builds on preliminary data from research funded by Princeton Engineering’s (@eprinceton) Project-X.

Sharing our latest on optogenetics for metabolic engineering. Overcoming light penetration limitations with OptoAmps lets you ditch the 2-phase fermentation and choose your own, like these light controlled 3-phase fermentations. @SincerelyMakoto@EvanZhao6

Today we mourn the loss of Professor Angelika Amon. She was a remarkable person, an incredible and creative scientist, a lively and spirited colleague, and devoted mentor. Her impact and legacy live on, and will be perpetuated through everyone she touched.
