@LabTabor

We are a synthetic biology research group in the Bioengineering Department at Rice University.

We are so excited that Jeff was named a 2023 #DoD Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellow, and look forward to participating in this unique and rewarding program! news.rice.edu/news/2023/rice…


In this new paper, we collaborated with the wonderful @veiseho group to encapsulate engineered bacteria in hydrogel spheres to enhance their survival through the GI tract and ability to diagnose intestinal inflammation. Congrats to the team! doi.org/10.1016/j.biom…

We worked with @synlogic to make therapeutic bacteria easier to program. The era of living medicines is coming fast.

Clinically relevant engineered E. coli Nissle for treating phenylketonuria (PKU) has been redesigned for improved activity and simplified manufacturing @AlexTriassi @SynBioFoundry @Geneticdesigner cell.com/cell-systems/f…

A marriage between Synthetic Biology and Synthetic Chemistry! Computationally design pathways to molecules by combining enzymatic and chemistry steps.

I'm happy to share our work on computer-aided synthesis planning of hybrid enzymatic/synthetic reaction pathways with @Geneticdesigner and @cwcoley! nature.com/articles/s4146…



Check out our new paper! We use E. coli display to characterize interactions between antimicrobial peptides and bacterial two-component systems. We discover numerous new human AMP activators of PhoPQ! Congrats @kathryn_brink and team. nature.com/articles/s4158…


Wonderful review for anyone interested in optogenetics beyond neuroscience and cell biology

Here's our new article -- potentially, everything you ever wanted to know about light-regulated gene expression in bacteria (& much more). frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… Welcome opportunity to team up once again with @RobertOhlendorf (this guy knows stuff!). Enjoy

Exciting!

1/n PAPER ALERT: In collaboration with @davidrliu, we combined eVOLVER + PACE (= ePACE) to facilitate the evolution of compact Nme2Cas9 variants that can target single-nucleotide (previously-inaccessible) PAM sequences for precision genome editing. go.nature.com/3d1A9Y3



Bacteria phosphorylate response regulator proteins to survive stresses, colonize hosts, and resist antibiotics among other processes. Here, we report an optical method to monitor this process in live cells. Congrats @Rice_BIOE Ph.D. Ryan Butcher. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…
