Imagine if making new medicines or sustainable materials were as easy as snapping LEGO® bricks. A team led by Prof. Mark Styczynski @stygroupGT has on a $9.2M NSF grant to advance cell-free biomanufacturing. b.gatech.edu/4h3JRWv 🔗 b.gatech.edu/4h3JRWv

Imagine if building new medicines or sustainable materials was as straightforward as snapping together LEGO bricks. That’s what @stygroupGT in @GTChBE is working on — creating 8 ready-to-use modules that could support different kinds of biotechnology. b.gatech.edu/4hbRLNG

More TLISA love!!!
With a simple, flexible, no-equipment-needed platform, @GTChBE researchers in @stygroupGT are creating a new way to test for disease at home or in places where medical resources are limited. b.gatech.edu/41sUBWX

Wow Lex, you continue to inspire us all!! Congrats for winning the 2025 Suddath Award. Can't wait to see what else you do.
Congrats to BioE Ph.D. candidate Alexandra Patterson, winner of the 2025 Suddath Award! Highlights from her presentation today titled "Enabling Technologies for Next-Generation Cell-Free Diagnostics" and the award presented by the Suddath family 🏆 #IBB #SuddathSymposium

Yay! So happy that TLISA is out in the world. I’m super proud of what we accomplished here
Excited to share our work in @ScienceAdvances! TLISA is a plug-and-play cell-free protein biosensor system developed by @MeganAMcSweeney. We hope this technology is a stepping stone to expand protein detection at the point-of-care! science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Hot off the presses!!!
Excited to share our latest study on Cu-based nanozymes for sarcosine sensing-a key cancer biomarker!🎉By integrating diodes and light-dependent resistor, we achieved a simple yet effective colorimetric readout, suitable for field deployment. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti… @RoySocChem
