Delighted to share the final version of this paper out now! I led this project with @amparo_cosio during my PhD in @TheLeonardLab to investigate how we could program smart cell therapies to sense and respond to markers of disease—taking inspiration from natural human receptors!

Years ago, we set out to create synbio tech to solve a major challenge: generating precision antibodies for challenging membrane proteins. It's a DREAM COME TRUE to report we've now launched K2 Therapeutics (k2-tx.com) to advance this into transformative medicines
Excited to share our @Nature papers exploiting the receptor pairing code to expand the cytokine receptor alphabet in T cells. Nonnatual receptors reprograms T cells into myeloid lineage. Grateful for the amazing collaborators @xrtcell , @MasatoOgishi
Genome-wide chromatin recording resolves dynamic cell state changes | from Prof. Michael Elowitz's lab @ElowitzLab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Biological foundation models have hit a plateau. Scaling isn't working as expected. Foundational concepts from evolutionary biology could have predicted this: 🧵 research.arcadiascience.com/pub/idea-phylo… [1/9]
How do chromatin remodelers use #IDRs to find their TF binding partners? Check out San’s tweetorial about SWI/SNF (cBAF) subunit ARID1A and β-catenin, now online at Mol Cell

Have you always wanted to take a protein from its native context and make it work elsewhere? Our novel sampler computationally “cytosolize” a secreted enzyme while maintaining its structure, generalizable to other multi-objective guided generation tasks biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Online now @ Cell is the yeast multicellular engineering paper from @DrFankangMeng - the fruits of his productive PhD. He developed modular synthetic biology tools to bring multicellular behaviours to yeast - adhesion, juxtacrine signalling and more. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Synthetic biology could enable new types of programmable therapeutics. Our new preprint introduces synthetic protein circuits that selectively trigger cell death in Ras-mutant cancer cells, with interesting advantages compared to existing approaches. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
How do we improve nanoparticle delivery to tumors? Please see our recent publication detailing a dual pH-responsive micelle with improved tumor biodistribution. We engineer a STING-activating micelle (PC7A) using a carrier polymer strategy for immunoRx pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
