Massive upgrade to our preprint "Reprogramming genetic circuits using space": mathematical modeling, time-based experiments, new functions, more supplementary material... We're thrilled about this work and hope you enjoy it! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Lab Retreat 2024. A brilliant team, cool projects, great ideas... Next months will be fun!

📢Happy to announce that, from today, I join the @CNB_CSIC! I'm sure this is the perfect place for the #Biocomputation Lab to carry out our research agenda. Exciting times ahead!

This morning at 10:15 in the auditorium, I'll be introducing our electrogenetic oscillator, a synthetic gene network designed to turn a Geobacter biofilm into an electronic oscillator. See you all there! #BES2024

Reprogramming genetic circuits using space. Circuits can be reprogrammed to display different functions by changing their spatial positioning and configuration. Kudos to the team: @Bio_Lorea @JesusMir0 @angeles_hg @LewisGrozinger @mrhuseyintas #synbio 🔗biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

33 years ago tonight, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality.

📢 just out in @ACSSynBio! The Laboratory #Automation #Protocol (LAP) Format and Repository pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… A number of #standard protocols ready to use: 🔗 laprepo.com. So far all for @opentrons' robots 🤖, but will expand. Web design by @Scienseed. #synbio

New paper out! We present GENETTA: a network-based tool for the analysis of complex genetic designs. It is an improved version of the software we used in pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102… Now with more functions! Kudos to Matthew Crowther. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Lab Retreat 2023 is over. Three days of great scientific discussions in beautiful #Valencia. What a brilliant group! Thanks @CSICval for hosting, and @ManuelPorcar1 for introducing @DarwinBioprosp. Back to the @CBGP_Madrid on Monday with tons of energy!

Happy to share that after a large and join effort by @CNB_CSIC, @CIB_CSIC and @JarekPoplonsk our Golden Standard Tool is out. GS is an universal MoClo Tool that unlocks modular cloning in all proteobacteria and beyond. academic.oup.com/nar/article…

Next in Lab's conference agenda, the Swiss-UK #synbio conference swissuk-synbio.org. If you are attending, look for @Bio_Lorea and poster 2 to hear about our "Three-dimensional dynamics of genetic circuits" story.

⚙️ Streamlining TnSeq for accelerated genetic engineering! Meet pBLAM1-x, the latest addition to the SEVA toolbox by @AngelGMoreno et al. Explore how this vector built on standardisation principles enhances high-throughput analysis. ⭕ #SEVAtoolbox academic.oup.com/synbio/arti…

🎉 Thrilled for my first paper as postdoc 🧑‍🔬 at @AngelGMoreno #biocomputationlab. And happy to contribute with new standardized tools for #synbio and #automation

Muy contento de ver ciencia básica en los medios. Y más todavía si es lo que hacemos en nuestro laboratorio del @CBGP_Madrid (@La_UPM @INIA_es). El concepto de programar sistemas biológicos y su potencial uso ambiental. A ver si metemos "biocomputación" en la @RAEinforma pronto😁

Indeed, a great honor. Prof. Tawfik’s papers and conferences had a big impact during my PhD. I’m glad to be able to contribute to honouring his memory

Our first effort to decipher the origin of DfrB enzymes – which have no characterized homologues known to date – is out: doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2022.00…! This family, identified because it provides high #AntibioticResistance, has many peculiarities 👀🧵 (1/8) #DfrBNews #ProteinEvolution

Yesterday at the Lab Xmas dinner. What a terrific team!! To a new year 🥂
