Our paper on the antigen fluorogenic sensor is featured as a supplementary cover in this week’s @jacs.acspublications.org ! Beautiful artwork by our co-author, Ryo Tachibana! Read it here: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.... #MyACSCover

Thrilled our PANCS-binder tech is finally out in print! www.nature.com/articles/s41... This technology, 11-years in the making, has transformed how we do research in my lab, and was led by an amazing postdoc, Matt Styles, who is currently entering the academic job market - so look out for him! 1/n

Our latest paper is finally published in @natcomms.nature.com (doi.org/10.1038/s414...) !! We successfully constructed synthetic multinuclear metal complexes using only proteins.

抗原に結合するだけで光る蛍光プローブの新規設計法に関する論文がJACSで公開になりました! 日本語プレスリリースはこちらです。@jacs.acspublications.org www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/content/4002...

Excited to share that our new paper is out in @jacs.acspublications.org ! We introduce a new design principle for fluorogenic antigen probes, using an intramolecular reaction between a thiol-reactive fluorophore and a cysteine engineered into a DARPin. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

5/12(月)に第75回日本電気泳動シンポジウム@ Shimadzu Tokyo Innovation Plaza (川崎殿町)を企画しております。非常に魅力的なスピーカー陣＆会場ですので、ご興味のある方はぜひご参加ください (参加者把握のため、事前登録をお願いします)。参加費無料です！https://jes1950.jp/J_MEETING/75th_sympo/75th_sympo.html

New preprint! 当ラボ卒業生の王さんを中心として、生体直交性の高い蛍光プローブ・改変レポーター酵素ペアを開発し、低バックグラウンドのがんイメージングを実現しました。新しいレポーターシステムとして, ELISA, ADEPT他、多用途に使えると考えています！

New preprint! In a study led by Wang-san, we developed a novel biorthogonal fluorescence probe and an engineered reporter enzyme, enabling low-background cancer imaging. This powerful pair could also be valuable for applications such as ELISA and ADEPT. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

当グループ(@東大医)で博士研究員を募集しています。細胞外小胞/細胞間コミュニケーションの理解や操作を可能とする合成生物学研究に興味のある方はぜひご検討ください。もちろん学振PDの応募などの相談にものれます。ご興味があればお気軽にDMください！https://www.m.u-tokyo.ac.jp/news/jobs/20250121.pdf

新作preprint @chemrxiv.bsky.social を公開しました。チオール反応性蛍光団と抗原認識タンパク質をうまく組み合わせて、抗原に結合して初めて光る蛍光センサーを開発しました。洗浄なしでのがんイメージングなどに応用可能です。卒業生の中館さんが中心となって研究を進めてくれました! bsky.app/profile/ryos...

New preprint @chemrxiv.bsky.social ! In this work led by Nakadate-san, we have developed a new type of fluorogenic sensor for an antigen that enables wash-free cancer imaging. Check out our unique probe design using a thiol-reactive fluorophore and DARPin! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
