And we’re live! ✨ @HUISHANLI1 and I are proud to have led this research under @MoKhalilLab’s leadership, and with support from an amazing team of collaborators. Check out Mo’s super thread here👇🏼
Synthetic circuits that program new capabilities into human cells have tremendous potential to expand emerging gene and cell-based therapies. Our latest work, out today in @ScienceMagazine, reports a platform to accelerate these developments: (1/n)

Yesterday was a historic day in plant biotech: a purple tomato engineered with high antioxidants was approved by @USDA@BigPurpleTomato helps prevent cardiovascular disease and fight cancer in humans.
This approval under new regulation ushers in a new era for plant synbio!
Excited to be part of the Satellite Bio team! Our company has officially unveiled with more than $110 million in financing to pioneer Tissue Therapeutics, a new category of regenerative medicine. Onwards and upwards 🚀 https://t.co/gQ9h0LBQX9
Excited to share our paper @CellCellPress https://t.co/IVKrs0sEwn. Ray Liu and Iowis Zhu led the development of clinically optimized and tunable nextgen synNotch receptors dubbed SNIPRs for cell therapies. Thank you @UCSF@GladstoneInst@parkerici press: https://t.co/nifLCcz32K
My experiences in Dr. Ting Lu's lab documented in the letter attached.
It's not about him. I've cared about him enough during those 18 months of my life. It's about the students.

Therapeutic mRNA for heart failure?!
Our own Joel Rurik (@DevBioAcademic) teamed up with @WeissmanLab to make CAR T cells entirely in the body to treat heart disease.

Excited to share new work w/ co-lead @CamilliaAzimi, @MarsonLab @kickassscience1@roybal_lab: using a method we call 'CAR Pooling', we tested many CARs in multiplex & found new non-T cell signaling domains which improve CAR-T efficacy. https://t.co/QvhYSPRSlv 👇🧵 1/10
'There have been many definitions of synthetic biology over the years, but I especially like the definition offered by my friend and colleague, @meganjpalmer “Synthetic biology is a community, a field, and an approach”.'

A tremendous effort led by Ray, Iowis, and @KoleRoybal! It has been really amazing to watch these new ideas take shape firsthand, and moreover to help develop humanized SNIPRs compatible with our synthetic ZFs (synZiFTRs)
1/4 Excited to share our new preprint from the @roybal_lab & @MoKhalilLab-Raymond Liu and Iowis Zhu led the development of NextGen synNotch receptors. SynNotch is one ‘species’ in a larger ‘genus’ of SyNthetic Intramembrane Proteolysis Receptors (SNIPRs) https://t.co/rCrC6gisMk
