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!

[Mack Walls @M_T_Walls]

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.

Awesome endorsement Jared (@toettch). Thank you so much!

[jared toettcher @toettch]

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.

[Jose L. Avalos @javalosLAB]

Congratulations to our own new HHMI Gilliam Fellow (@Duranigrade), with @DJCohenEtAl . Many great things to come Lisset!!

[Jose L. Avalos @javalosLAB]

Please help me spread around this postdoc opportunity in my lab. --Thank you!

[Jose L. Avalos @javalosLAB]

@Jack_Pronk_ @princetonideas @doescience @EPrinceton Thank you so much Jack!

[Jose L. Avalos @javalosLAB]

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!!

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
