The 4th International Conference on Biomolecular Engineering just wrapped up. The entire conference (co-organized by Kristala Prather (MIT) and Ali Khademhosseini (Harvard)) was a fantastic combination of work on synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, protein engineering and the latest biomolecular engineering tools. Julius presented Melissa’s latest work on engineering larger families of orthogonal RNA transcriptional regulators in the Synthetic Biology session alongside Chris Voigt (MIT), Stephanie Culler (Genomatica) and Tim Lu (MIT). And the rapid fire poster session co-organized by Lydia Contreras (UT Austin), Mo Khalil (Boston U) and Julius was a huge success!
