Gave a keynote at the ECI Nanotech in Medicine conference, chaired by #Juliane and #Rohan. Nice to learn about frontier work in #nanomedicine, #extracellular vesicles, and cellular therapeutics. Great location and people too. #UCDavis #BME #synbio

Attended the BioLeadership Summit at #Stanford. buff.ly/gjW6xJj. It was an interesting event as it covered bioeconomy and biosecurity topics that differ from typical scientific meetings. Here's an inspiration that I gathered from the event. #UCDavis #UCDavisBME

See our new perspective article on synthetic therapeutic cells. Focusing on dead, undead, and dying cells :) buff.ly/VH4WyRd , at #AnnualReviewBME. If you have been working primarily on live dividing cells, the article might give you some new angles/perspectives. #synbio
