Boosting photosynthesis w/ synthetic biology 🌿💥☀️ #USYD & ANU researchers built modular nanocompartments that encapsulate Rubisco (the enzyme that fixes CO₂): new way to engineer carbon-concentration into crops. Via Sydney Analytical + Sydney Microscopy & Microanalysis. go.nature.com/43kERHj

So excited that this is out in the world! Onto the next phase 🦠🧪

Would love to see some friendly faces in the crowd! Get your tickets below 👇

Being from the USA, I struggle with Aussie Christmas. Maybe all I've been missing is some Aussie Christmas flair? My glorious friends @bambiraptorf.bsky.social @astrolaura.bsky.social and Prof Euan Ritchie wrote a great piece about science and Christmas crafts! theconversation.com/decorating-y...

My first ever Bluesky post is a new #preprint alert! What if we could put *anything* into a protein cage? Our new in vitro encapsulin assembly system is esay to use and enables the pacakging of protein and synthetic cargo! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very excited to share our new pre-print! We’ve developed a new way to put any type of cargo (biological or synthetic) into protein cages! All in-vitro! This enables massively scalable in vitro packaging technology for multiple lucrative applications. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Long time lurker, first time poster... announcing our latest preprint on encapsulin protein cages! We can now assemble them beautifully in vitro, without the ugly defects you get using acid/base or denaturants. This lets us put any synthetic cargo into these cages. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
