In our work on engineered living materials, a question we ask ourselves is ‘How can we use synthetic biology to make materials more sustainable?’ In our new preprint, Marcus Walker @Marcus_waal answers this with ‘Bacterial Black Sheep’. How? Read on… 🧵⬇️ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our latest paper is out! Light-inducible expression of antibiotic resistance genes. Led by @biotaxis, with help from @NathanTague2. Constructs are on @Addgene if you want to try them out.
And to wrap up today's paperfest, @biotaxis and co in the @DunlopLab at @BostonU_BME present an optogenetic toolkit for light induced antibiotic resistance go.nature.com/41AGRJd

Very excited to share our new preprint where we use a deep learning-based feedback algorithm to control gene expression in real time in thousands of single E. coli cells in parallel. This work was led by @jblugagne and @cblassick. 1/

We plan to use this platform to investigate the impact of gene expression dynamics on antibiotic resistance and to extend it for other synthetic biology applications. More generally, we are excited to see how AI can improve our ability to interface between cells and computers. 8/
