Every year biotechnology labs generate a combined total of ∼5.5 million tons of plastic waste. As the global bioeconomy expands, biofoundries will inevitably increase plastic consumption in-step with synthetic biology scaling. Decontamination and reu...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a promising alternative to antibiotics to combat drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria. However, the development of AMPs with high potency and specificity remains a challenge, and new tools to evaluate antimicrobial...
We propose a machine learning framework for the data-driven discovery of macroscopic chemotactic Partial Differential Equations (PDEs)-and the closures that lead to them- from high-fidelity, individual-based stochastic simulations of Escherichia coli...

There are several classes of short peptide molecules, known as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are produced during the immune responses of living organisms against various infections. In recent years, substantial progress has been achieved in ap...
In tandem mass spectrometry-based proteomics, proteins are digested into peptides by specific protease(s), but generally only a fraction of peptides can be detected. To characterize detectable proteotypic peptides, we have developed a series of metho...
DNA synthesis is widely used in synthetic biology to construct and assemble sequences ranging from short RBS to ultra-long synthetic genomes. Many sequence features, such as the GC content and repeat sequences, are known to affect the synthesis diffi...

To improve synthetic media for protein expression in Escherichia coli, a strategy using deep neural networks (DNN) and Bayesian optimization was performed in this study. To obtain training data for a deep learning algorithm, E. coli harvesting a plas...
To reach their final destinations, outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of gram-negative bacteria undertake an eventful journey beginning in the cytosol. Multiple molecular machines, chaperones, proteases, and other enzymes facilitate the translocation and...
