🚨New paper alert
We report advances at the intersection of metabolic engineering & genetic code expansion that allow a bacterium to create and harness a nitrated amino acid on its own

🚨New paper alert
I'm delighted to share our new publication in Metabolic Engineering that was a team effort led by @Neil_D_Butler
We found a bunch of surprising findings about the stability of aldehydes supplemented to bacterial cells

I'm over the moon that @NIH_CommonFund has given our bacterial vaccine design efforts a major boost. Thank you to the collaborators & mentors who encouraged taking on pressing problems even if risky

Will add as counterpoint to Bernie’s “why Concerto” a theme of “why not Concerto?”
Lots of new open positions @ConcertoBio, so I think re-tweeting “why Concerto?” is appropriate 🤓

3 months ago, there were 5 Concertians. Now there are 11. #logphase #EnsembleNo1

I had a blast at #SEED2022! Was wonderful to see some old friends and make new ones. It’s amazing to see how far the field has come in just a few years! Anyway, here are my full notes for the conference. I got every talk. docs.google.com/document/d/1…

A preprint of my postdoc work is finally live! 🥳 We push the boundaries of synthetic biology in plants with a huge collection of new tools for constructing/tuning synthetic genetic circuits in plants. We use these circuits to engineer root structure 🌱 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

📢Calling all synthetic & molecular biologists! We just backed an exciting RNA editing startup that is hiring a 1st scientist (then 2nd, 3rd, etc :)).
Unique chance to be employee #1, build a lab, & join a brilliant solo founder!
Must have PhD.
Must be in Bay Area.
DM me!💫

Concerto is inspired by microbes—but we’re more inspired by people. Our new site is about those people, an ensemble cast-in-the-making of brilliant minds solving complex problems, inventing innovative technologies, and building a healthier world. Dive in: concertobio.com

Do you want an awesome, paid summer #internship? Are you a U.S.-based PhD candidate in a #biotechnology field? If you answered YES, you should be applying to EBRC's Internship Program. Find out more at ebrc.org/internship

To undergrads applying to graduate programs for #synbio research - consider applying to the PhD program in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering @UDChBE @UDelaware. We've grown in this area but have been short of grad students by double digits 2Y running now (1/3)
