So happy to share the amazing work of @CarrenoYugueros using #synbio engineered bacteria to sense #microbiome nutrient availability in the gut with beautiful microscopy. @IC_CSynBio @ImperialInfect & @TheCrick. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Super proud to share our latest pre-print with @driglar 🎉 ! Using an engineered bacterial biosensor 🦠 we monitored sialic acid (an important metabolite for gut microbes) in the gut. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited to share our labs latest paper.
We use #synbio for biosensor discovery to aid our quest to build 'smart probiotics' to sense and treat disease.
Well done @KlondikeClare et al!
Thanks @wellcometrust for funding!

#synbio people - are there any examples of published results from public consultation on the idea of delivering synthetic engineered organisms/cells to patients in the clinic?

Along the way we learn a lot about testing pools of engineered bacteria in the mammalian gut. And simplify the process of library design and construction. This leaves us ready to look for unique biosensors from a wider range of bacterial sources for more diverse applications 8/n
