Excited to share our paper in @CellGenomics using #genomics and #machinelearing to dissect why #aneuploidy is toxic to cells and why some gene duplications are more deleterious than others. Great effort led by stellar postdoc Julie Rojas!

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.

"Targeting fungi is a fundamental capability we don't really have to modify microbiomes."
@UWMadison_BME’s @McCleanLab uncovered a method for manipulating the fungal members of microbiomes, which could prove useful for biotechnology or biomedicine.

The Biophysics Colloquium is today!
We have a great line-up of student and faculty speakers and posters.
The RSVP has long closed but anyone interested in attending the talks is welcome to join (sorry, no extra room for lunch).

excited to share our new study taking a deep dive into asking how nutrient conditions affect drug sensitivity! this work was made possible by key contributions from @kyle_flickinger @Fysiologic_only @Nickleotide and a terrific collaboration w/@cispt2, Kelli Wilson et al. at NCAT!

As scientists, we often forget just how cool our work is. I showed my parents what I do in lab for the first time today & my mom was amazed just looking at DNA on a agarose gel & human cells under the microscope. Take a moment to be proud of yourself & your science!

How does transcription of proximal genes influence the expression of their neighbors? How do we engineer compact circuit designs for specific profiles of expression that enable robust cellular engineering? Today @CellReports we provide some answers (1 /n) tinyurl.com/24vtfbyw
