This was an energizing event with excellent scientists in a gorgeous location. Thank you for making it happen!

Synthetic biology could enable new types of programmable therapeutics. Our new preprint introduces synthetic protein circuits that selectively trigger cell death in Ras-mutant cancer cells, with interesting advantages compared to existing approaches. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Congratulations to Dhiraj and the other amazing fellows

My first project in the @elowitzlab.bsky.social is finally out in @cellpress.bsky.social! We explore how competitive, "many-to-many" dimerization allows complex, multi-input, and cell-type-specific biochemical computations🧵↓ doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

New study in @cellpress.bsky.social by Allen Distinguished Investigator @elowitzlab.bsky.social and collaborators explores the versatility of protein dimers. #FrontierScience 🔗 www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

I really enjoyed reading this preprint, congrats @elowitzlab.bsky.social and team!

Another assault on US competitiveness at a time when biomedicine is roaring with innovation, an own-goal in a high-stakes international tournament. Of course the real losers are American people needing medicines and cures. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Really enjoying Uri Alon’s characteristically wonderful lectures on aging: www.weizmann.ac.il/mcb/alon/cou...

Could one envision a synthetic receptor technology that is fully programmable, able to detect diverse extracellular antigens – both soluble and cell-attached – and convert that recognition into a wide range of intracellular responses, from gene expression and real-time fluorescence to modulation..

"The lives of cells, recorded"--our new review on genomic recording systems and how they can reveal the dynamics of multicellular development. A pleasure to work on this with amazing colleagues from the Allen Discovery Center for Cell Lineage Tracing. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
