Likewise, @LeonardoMorsut! It is such a privilege to do fun new science with a good friend, and now have the opportunity to expand our collaboration across LA. Reach out if you'd like to join our team at the interface of syn bio and tissue engineering! @uscbme @USCStemCell

Lucky to have the best colleague @mccainlab with whom to embark in this new adventure across USC UCLA Caltech, towards controlling tissue organization with synBio and tissue engineering - will be hiring, if you’re interested drop a line!

Have you ever stared at your cell (or organoid) culture wanting the cells on the right to express gene X, and the cells on the left to express gene Y, and your cells are like

Approx every 40 seconds , someone in the US will have a heart attack, says @American_Heart . @uscbme researchers have developed a "heart attack on a chip,” that may become a testbed for personalized drugs to save lives. ow.ly/zBUX50LXQsA
