ROSALIND 3.0 is out in @nchembio !
Cell-free biosensors are revolutionizing point-of-care diagnostics, but we need greater sensitivity to detect harmful chemicals. Enter: Polymerase Strand Recycling (PSR) — a game-changer for signal amplification! 🌟

Chicago has a big problem with lead in drinking water and we are helping to solve it with at-home biosensor tests.

ML can solve PDEs – but precision🔬is still a challenge. Towards high-precision methods for scientific problems, we introduce BWLer 🎳, a new architecture for physics-informed learning achieving (near-)machine-precision (up to 10⁻¹² RMSE) on benchmark PDEs.
🧵How it works:
Why is @NUsynbio so great - it's the people. Check out our latest staff profile of our incredible Director of Operations Yael Mayer!

Research cuts impact everyone. @NUSynBio trying to get the word out:

Research is for everyone.
Grateful to @WBEZ to talk about why research is important and why stopping hurts people and our leadership as the #1 country for innovation.

Speak up! Thanks @LucksLab and @WBEZreset for talking about this.

Here's to @LucksLab killing it on @WBEZreset today, laying out the damage that the random ransacking of @DeptofDefense grants means for edu, innovation & water 🚰 🧪safety.

Research that benefits everyone is being cut. This is real.
The wonderful people at @NUSynBio are working hard to help people.
This jeopardizes all of it.
It brings me no pleasure to post today's coverage of the assault on science being wrought by the bonkers federal clowns. This @Suntimes story features damage to my husband's lab. If critical @DeptofDefense work isn't even spared... @LucksLab @NUSynBio

Contamination Detection Tool Enables Highly Sensitive Water Testing
A product of multi-disciplinary Northwestern Engineering research, the cantilever-based test detects harmful chemicals in water at concentrations down to parts per billion.

Great collaboration between Gajendra Shekhawat of SPID/ NUANCE and Julius Lucks of Synthetic Biology. Remarkable to see unusual combo of biomolecular interactions anchored on microfabricated platform for water sensing! Just wow!!

A new joint initiative between @NUFeinbergMed and @NorthwesternEng aims to steer the development of new research “neighborhoods” on Northwestern’s Chicago campus, expanding on current research priorities, which include #syntheticbiology. bit.ly/3QH9HmH
