Plant Synthetic Biology and Biomaker: accessible tools for bioengineering, @jimhaseloff.bsky.social
University of Cambridge, UK
Joined July 2009
Research assistant position open in the University of Cambridge in the lab of Prof. Jim Haseloff. The appointee will help develop new approaches to bioproduction in the model liverwort plant Marchantia polymorpha. https://t.co/rhYe140DY1

Tiniest Z-focus mechanism for you @Seeedstudio #XIAO-based ESP32 camera in a #Matchboxscope? Found a way to piggy-pack all the electronics without any additional PCBđCurious? Read more, here: https://t.co/m0YCxw4MCX Already part of the @openUC2-based #Anglerfish! Can drive NEMA!

Latest prototype of the MiniSpec Mk6. Using the lovely new ESP32-S3 chip from espressif. Capable of bluetooth, wifi, tons of storage, microSD up to 32gb. Can run 8 simultaneous turbidometers. 15mL working volume. 1Hz recording. Self-blanking. No fuss. Just turn on and it starts.

From design to practice - Check out our brand new maker station in the lab - with lots of @Prusa3D 3d printers. @GOSHCommunity @jimhaseloff @jenny_molloy Designed by team member MatĂas Hurtado https://t.co/eW2coGk7Fe

Insightful and worrying data about pressures on UK university funding, and need for response. https://t.co/DnYdRM7IgB

Day 8 of great synthetic biology papers. âIdempotent Vector Design for Standard Assembly of Biobricksâ (2003). Genetic circuits rarely work on first try. It's hard to copy someone elseâs work. So this paper standardized DNA assembly, much like screws were standardized in 1864.

Worth adding that these constructs and lines are great for looking at dynamic processes/development/responses to stresses, not just static patterns - my favourite being ERF20 and the re-making of stem cells

Super happy to see our work starting to get published, massive congratulations to Facundo and Susana for managing this (huge) project
I hope this contributes to the quest of understanding the meristems evo-devo and work as a useful community resource for markers. This is complementary to other approaches such as the recently published scRNA-seq.

We found promoters specific for several cell-types and share in the paper our main findings about meristem organisation in Marchantia. We also elaborated more detailed models for gemma development.

OpenPlant collection of TF promoters and cellular map for Marchantia gemmae, epic project guided by @facundoromani and @SusanaSaGu - should be a useful new resource for linking gene expression and cellular microarchitecture in Marchantia. ( https://t.co/73hcsuX3N5)

(Bonus) Use LEGOs to watch plant roots. It's just clear LEGO pieces and gel. But the advantage of LEGOs is that they can be autoclaved (didn't know that) and are a modular way to set up chemical gradients, etc. https://t.co/oMY7yBXrfQ
