We've got some very exciting news to share!
businesswire.com/news/home/2…
and here's a 🧵 about the journey from academia to @AI_Proteins

#WeekendReading! Let's see if we can make #CellFreeSaturday happen 👀
Clark, Voigt, and Jewett coming in with a FANTASTIC Research Article this week:
Establishing a High-Yield Chloroplast Cell-Free System for Prototyping Genetic Parts ➡️go.acs.org/adk
🌱🍀🍁

The advances produced by Professors Neha Kamat and Josh Leonard “get us one step closer to the ultimate goal of targeted biological drug delivery.”

Happy to share our latest paper! So fun co-leading with @jperuzz and so rewarding to work with a group of great people and scientists. Congrats all! Check it out if you’re into extracellular vesicles, biomembranes, or biologic drug delivery! #synbio
Excited to share our work @NatureComms on biomembranes, lipid rafts, drug delivery, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). We used lipid-protein interactions to control protein trafficking and improve functional delivery of transcription factors > 50X! tinyurl.com/ycprfywe (1/8)

Research from Professor Neha Kamat uncovers how differences in the thickness of biological membranes and the proteins within them can have a big impact on the protein’s ability to insert and move within the membrane.

Our paper, led by the talented @jperuzz, recapitulating a two-component system (TCS) outside the cell is out in @PNASNews! Thanks to @jeffrey_j_tabor for an inspiring talk on TCSs that led to this study and helpful conversations. More press is here: tinyurl.com/yav5fv9b
We are excited to share our new preprint, led by @jperuzz, demonstrating that we can recapitulate bacterial two component systems (an important signal transduction pathway in bacteria) in synthetic membranes! tinyurl.com/mr2h4r8s 1/6
Very excited to share our latest #lipidtime #synbio project! What started as a fun bioinformatic-based question to explore when I couldn't be in lab during COVID, turned out to be a cool & robust method to load proteins into extracellular vesicles. Check it out!!
Have you ever wondered how to improve loading of protein cargo into extracellular vesicles? Excited to share our latest work exploring how lipid-protein interactions may be leveraged to direct proteins into extracellular vesicles! tinyurl.com/45sdm55m 🧵 1/6
Huge shout out to the team!! Co-led w @taylor_gunnels @HaileyEdelstein Peilong Lu @UWproteindesign @TheLeonardLab @NehaPKamat @NUSynBio

I’m proud to share some recent accomplishments of our undergraduate researcher, @lucasesantanna, who received the @NSF #GRFP and designed a journal cover for his recent paper in @MacroJrnls_ACS with @TheTimVu #MyACSCover Lucas will be pursuing a PhD next: keep an eye on this ⭐️!

Many people treat membrane protein synthesis like a black box. We show that, by using cell free expression, you can actually understand what is going on. Read our paper and find out. ift.tt/7YalbhP
