Really appreciate Sydney Morning Herald for covering our research on #seekRNA ๐ The Sydney Morning Herald smh.com.au/national/nsw/iโฆ
Yu Heng Lau is too cool! Closing Viruses of Microbes 2024 on how to look at protein structures through chemical engineering University of Sydney
Very happy to be able to share our research Sydney Science with the international phage community for the first time #VoM2024 An amazing conference, I learned a lot of phage biology I never knew, and there's a lot of exciting opportunities for chemistry/synbio folks like us!
This was a super cool session #VoM2024, incredible amount of data being generated by the Phage Foundry Vivek Mutalik, with the power of powerful CRISPRi-ART tools developed by Ben Adler Brady Cress, plus Suzanne L Warring engineering endolysin fusions to save the kiwifruit! ๐ฅ
So proud of our PhD student Felicia taking home a travel award for her brilliant talk from #ECPM2024 and I'm super humbled to win the Biomolecular Horizons Award! What a great few days of protein science โบ๏ธ #SuperstarsofSTEM Sydney Chemistry
It's been a busy week for the lab, talks at 3 different meetings!! Haritha Sudhakar doing amazing at Royal Australian Chemical Institute #MCCB symposium yesterday, and Dr Taylor Szyszka + Felicia doing us proud today at #ECPM2024 - well deserved recognition of the amazing science you each have been doing!
Many congrats to Margaret Sunde on receiving the Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Award from proteinsociety

Making final preparations before the STANSW 7-10 conference. After a lot of hard work, I'm so excited to officially launch the Remediate Educational Suite tomorrow! Turning this game into a teaching tool is a longtime dream come true ๐ ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology Science & Technology Australia #SuperstarsofSTEM
I'm talking at JAMS tomorrow night! Come hear about some protein engineering and game design as I pretend to be a microbiologist. And play the latest version of Remediate after! ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology Sydney Chemistry
Shout out for REMEDIATE! A super cool synthetic biology game out soon! ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology
