StyLab at the 2026 BioE Day! Cassandra, Rridhisha, Shifeng, and Suvin participated in the BioE Rapid Fire competition. Congrats to Shifeng for winning 3rd place, and to Rridhisha for receiving an honorable mention! Good job everyone!

Lex successfully defended her thesis titled ‘Enabling Technologies for Next-Generation Cell-Free Diagnostics’. Congratulations Dr. Patterson!
She has now joined Vanderbilt University Medical Center as a Postdoctoral Researcher!

We held our first-ever Styczynski Undergraduate Research Exhibition (SURE) last month! Huge shoutout to our undergrads for presenting posters on their research projects and sharing all the hard work they’ve been doing this semester. Proud of everyone who participated!

Imagine if making new medicines or sustainable materials were as easy as snapping LEGO® bricks. A team led by Prof. Mark Styczynski @stygroupGT has on a $9.2M NSF grant to advance cell-free biomanufacturing. https://t.co/VLyJHtG7eC

Imagine if building new medicines or sustainable materials was as straightforward as snapping together LEGO bricks. That’s what @stygroupGT in @GTChBE is working on — creating 8 ready-to-use modules that could support different kinds of biotechnology. https://t.co/10Ox26kE0w

It's been an exciting week for the stylab! We've had 3 participants in 3 Minute Thesis over the past few days. But most importantly, help me welcome the newest PhD Candidate in our lab, Jiho Seok!!!!

[Styczynski Research Group @stygroupGT]

More TLISA love!!!

[Georgia Tech College of Engineering @gatechengineers]

With a simple, flexible, no-equipment-needed platform, @GTChBE researchers in @stygroupGT are creating a new way to test for disease at home or in places where medical resources are limited. https://t.co/oSxC2tt9In

[Styczynski Research Group @stygroupGT]

Wow Lex, you continue to inspire us all!! Congrats for winning the 2025 Suddath Award. Can't wait to see what else you do.

[Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience @ GT @ibbgatech]

Congrats to BioE Ph.D. candidate Alexandra Patterson, winner of the 2025 Suddath Award! Highlights from her presentation today titled "Enabling Technologies for Next-Generation Cell-Free Diagnostics" and the award presented by the Suddath family 🏆 #IBB #SuddathSymposium

[Megan McSweeney @MeganAMcSweeney]

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

[Styczynski Research Group @stygroupGT]

Hot off the presses!!!

[Anuja Tripathi @TripathiAnuja]

Excited to share our latest study on Cu-based nanozymes for sarcosine sensing-a key cancer biomarker!🎉By integrating diodes and light-dependent resistor, we achieved a simple yet effective colorimetric readout, suitable for field deployment. https://t.co/8TXEDZV9um

ANOTHER .5 selfie (unfortunately, a blurry one), but this time, it's because we FINALLY went out to welcome the first years joining our group! So excited to have you Karly, Shifeng, and Ziqi!!

A .5 selfie to document the stylab procrastinating on work by playing the game Coup... turns out one of us can lie, but can you guess who?
