I'm thrilled to share that the oPool⁺ display is on the cover of this week's #ScienceTranslationalMedicine! We hope that the future use of this platform can accelerate antibody characterization, benefit therapeutic & vaccine development, and facilitate iterative refinements of antibody AI models.

Academia is built on collaboration and mentorship. However, as ECRs, we tend to hesitate to reach out to our seniors. In our latest ecrLife post, @owenouyang.bsky.social encourages young scientists to give it a try, since many seniors are happy to write back and provide advice. tinyurl.com/35u7hw5h

Had a blast listening to exciting science and stories at last week's 4th annual Graduate Student Rising Stars symposium @uofubiochem.bsky.social, topped off by a keynote describing the wonders of cone snail venoms from Toto Olivera. Thanks to all of our visitors and speakers!

In this updated manuscript, now available on bioRxiv, we are excited to (re)introduce oPool+ display, a high-throughput cell-free platform that enables rapid synthesis and specificity characterization of natively paired antibodies at an unprecedented scale: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/)

1/ From Brazil to South Korea, we’re excited to welcome 107 early-career researchers who are looking to promote responsible behaviours in science to the eLife Community Ambassador programme 🎉 https://buff.ly/3EYNfmE

OK, #immunology Bluesky LFG! If, like me, you're trying to reconstruct the vibrant scientific network we had at the other place, these starter packs are a great start: go.bsky.app/2bqX3T7 go.bsky.app/PY5tCas go.bsky.app/FmERUoD go.bsky.app/AjNpW2h go.bsky.app/SinqoJU go.bsky.app/DmphBCT
