PSA: Stop calling macrophages in tissue M1 or M2. These are not states that exist in biology. The only use of M1 is a macrophage cultured ex vivo with LPS and IFNg; and for M2: IL-4/13/10. Macrophages in tissues are highly complex and diverse and do not resemble either of the

Only single cell sequencing of the all these post docs will reveal why

New preprint from our lab! Lukas Kuhajda (@kuhy12) built a novel ML framework to optimize transcription factor binding site insertions and then used it to one-shot rewire the yeast glucose response.

A simple benchmark. Most people can understand it. No PhD-level intelligence needed.

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act. If the House passes this bill, it will increase costs and hurt

You can’t eat microchips. Social media can’t heal the sick. B2B SaaS will never love you The final measure of any technology is the value it creates, directly or indirectly, for living things. In this sense, biology is everyone’s mission

I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs. Plant, Bacterial, Archaeal Bioeng Custom Lab Hardware Turn Key Genetic Design Please RT 💚

1/ You have a clear question: Is gene A and gene B co-expressed in my cell type of interest? You feel ready. You have single-cell data.

Excited to be back at #SynBioBeta2025 speaking at “Machine learning and AI tools to guide engineering of human therapeutics" on May 6. https://t.co/hVRaWYMDPR

“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber

Surprisingly, ignoring worries can improve mental health. Evidence: After practice blocking out fears, people were less anxious—and less depressed 3 months later—especially if they had high anxiety or PTSD. Not all concerns demand attention. Some thoughts are worth dismissing.

Looking for a cracked bioengineer in the SF area DMs open

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis

The results of R.PRJ are available on bioRxiv demonstrating the reproducibility of Sampling Human’s technology for the highly specific capture of single cells for analysis. Decentralized data collection by independent labs was made possible by our user-friendly benchtop kit.

R.PRJ brought together 30 users across 12 laboratories to test reproducibility of our single-cell measurement technology. Hear from participants and learn more about the study from the R.PRJ video. https://t.co/0cDZK2hqnp

Our app note with BMG LABTECH is out! Quantify cell-specific apoptosis in complex samples using your plate reader for the first time. Sampling Human's apoptosis kits offer an alternative to flow cytometry with enhanced ease, and even an automated workflow.

And my favorite session : Cell and Gene Therapies @SynBioBeta towards it's conclusion. #biotech

A Waymo costs $7.60 for 15 min ride. So for 8 hours that is $243. Put a bed in it and you have moving hotel room. Extend range and you could go to sleep in SF and Wake up in LA.
