Rob Hurt

Synthetic biology postdoc in Pete Schultz’s lab @scrippsresearch | Neurobiology PhD @Caltech with @mikhailshapiro

[Rob Hurt @robertchurt]

This was a really fun and challenging project, and I know we’re all excited to see what the community will do with the technology! Please get in touch if you’re interested in using or extending it!

[Mikhail Shapiro (same on bsky) @mikhailshapiro]

Can you evolve an acoustic protein? Yes, but first you have to invent a system for high throughput acoustic screening!

Congrats to @robertchurt, @ZhiyangJin and colleagues on this advance in biomolecular ultrasound. #gasvesicles

As a bioengineer, this recognition in immunology is especially meaningful.@MichelsonMedRF champions the idea that bold progress comes from crossing disciplinary boundaries and bringing new perspectives. I’m deeply grateful to my mentors, and congratulations to the other awardees!

[Steven Pang @thewildstevenp]

You don't have to be building something right now to apply. We are not evaluating your ideas. We are evaluating you!

Sound-sheet microscopy is born! Congratulations to Baptiste Heiles, lab members and collaborators at the Shapiro Lab (Caltech) and Gazzola Lab (NIN/KNAW) for this scientific achievement 🚀.

[McGovern Institute @mcgovernmit]

With a pair of new methods, @eboyden3 is expanding the capabilities of expansion microscopy so researchers everywhere can see more when they look at cells and tissues under a light microscope. @ScienceMIT @mitbrainandcog @NatureComms

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases.

I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known.

People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at https://t.co/ubo0zQRMn0.

We're recruiting a technician to help with our work on neurons! 🧠 Great opportunity to work with @di_wu_ and other awesome scientists @Caltech. Please RT.

Bacterial-MERFISH combines 1000-fold volumetric expansion with multiplexed fluorescence in situ hybridization, enabling high-throughput, spatially resolved profiling of thousands of operons within individual bacteria. https://t.co/K4zgyfRt3i #NBThighlight

The LA fires hit the Caltech community pretty hard, including my brilliant MD/PhD student George Daghlian, whose family lost their home. 🥹 I'm glad to be able to help, and grateful to so many friends assisting however they can! 💪 https://t.co/CxPrQKarwU

[Mikhail Shapiro (same on bsky) @mikhailshapiro]

Can we make a brain tumor visible under ultrasound? 🧠 🔉 Yes, using intravenous #gasvesicles!
This can help guide brain surgery and monitor for tumor recurrence. Congrats to Claire Rabut, @GeorgeHDaghlian and collaborators!

[Mikhail Shapiro (same on bsky) @mikhailshapiro]

What happens when you can take videos of acoustic proteins in 3D inside the body? 🧊 You can see things like the flow of CSF in the brain!🧠
Congrats to Sunho Lee, co-senior author Claire Rabut, and colleagues on "Takoyaki" 3D ultrasound.🥟 #gasvesicles https://t.co/KiBZca5sOb

[DanPiraner @piraner]

I’m excited to share how a modular synthetic receptor called SNIPR opens new possibilities for immunotherapy by sensing both tumor-secreted factors and synthetic computationally designed soluble proteins: https://t.co/RnN8RZhyEy.

[Mohamad Abedi @Mohamad_Abedi]

Cute story alert!🧵@Caltech two clueless office mates (@piraner & I) created a tool to control cells with ultrasound. As postdocs (@UCSF & @UWproteindesign), we teamed up again (with @majo__duran & @AdamChazin) to build a tool for engineered cell signaling https://t.co/uq6syLt727

[Avinoam Bar-Zion @bar_zion]

As a graduate student, I appeared in this Ad for @TechnionLive🤓 . Today, I'm happy to share that I am starting my own independent research group! After 3 incredible years at @INSIGHTEC 's scientific research team, I'm returning to the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering! #newPI

[Mohamad Abedi @Mohamad_Abedi]

David didn’t just launch a field that's transforming science and soon, our lives—he did it while being an incredible mentor and a caring human. His dedication to his lab and students is just as worth celebrating. Cograts to David and to us at the @UWproteindesign!

[Mohamad Abedi @Mohamad_Abedi]

I’ve always believed great science happens with great people. Couldn’t ask for a better team than Buwei, Green and Brian. Together, we created EndoTags, a de novo protein version of the foundational LYTAC system from the Bertozzi lab.@UWproteindesign https://t.co/yFmTQCHAxV

🚨Come join our new @EEBioPG project spanning @UniofOxford, @imperialcollege, and @BristolUni to tame biological complexity using control engineering and tackle global challenges.🦠🛠️ Several posts available across the project. More info at https://t.co/02SwHKuZ0M #synbio

[Scott Coyle @CellRaiser_]

Our first paper is out in @CellCellPress! Led by @born2raisecell, we present a programmable reaction-diffusion system that generates synthetic protein waves, oscillations, and patterns for spatiotemporal circuit design and FM data-encoding in human cells. https://t.co/lNRtRdJAxx
