We engineered a special "thermo-amplifier circuit" in probiotic E. coli to release an antibiotic only when they sense a high temperature (like during a fever)— perfect for controlled, targeted treatment! @DeySourik @Leibniz_INM @Helmholtz_HIPS @LSCLifeMat doi.org/10.1186/s13036-024-0…

Want to build a carbon-negative house? @Complex_Mat & others @ETH_Materials are creating living materials to do so. I had a great time seeing their labs, sharing our work & enjoying mushroomy fondue 😋 Thanks @rafaellibanori & @studart_andre for inviting me

The first day of our #ELM24 conference was a whirlwind of amazing scientific advances in living therapeutic materials with talks from @jeloshine @TanLabUCD @ManuelMime @AviSchroeder
We've got 4 days of Engineered Living Materials starting with the @spp2451 consortium kick-off meeting that was inspiring and fun. We presented our project and came up with ideas for possible ELM merchandise 😁 @Leibniz_INM

The last EIC #ELMs project to present this morning in Saarbrucken is Bio-HhOST. They’re integrating artificial cells with organoids for a hybrid approach to direct and control organoids.

Meet PEARL! We encapsulated lactobacilli in alginate beads, and they are secreting recominant proteins like pros! 🧬🧫 If interested, take a look at our latest work on Engineered Living Materials here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Dr. Shrikrishnan Sankaran (Head of Bioprogrammable Materials Group) will deliver an invited oral talk at the AIChE Optogenetic conference on "Light Regulated Living Therapeutic Materials". This further strengthens our position in the field of optogenetics. #Opto2024 @ChEnected
Controlling biology by light still feels like science fiction and the capabilities keep getting more amazing! I'm super excited to be at the AIChE Optogenetics conference in Boston and share our work with this invigorating community. #synbio @Leibniz_INM
