Congratulations to Christian Kasey (now at Zymergen) for his publication in ACS Synth Biol! The paper describes developing custom biosensors for detection of macrolides. This is exciting work that enables us to engineer antibiotic-producing microbial factories using high-throughput synthetic biology and metabolic engineering approaches.
Our collaborative work with Tilmann Weber and Sang Yup Lee on using a promiscuous enzyme and “click” chemistry to make new antibiotics is featured as the journal cover at ACS Synthetic Biology!
Congratulations to Samantha Meiser Carpenter and Edward Kalkreuter for winning 1st and 3rd place poster prizes, respectively, at the Synthetic Biology for Natural Products 2017 meeting in Cancun!
The Williams Lab is the recipient of 2017 Chancellor’s Innovation Funds to help commercialize our synthetic biology technology to engineer antibiotic-producing microbial factories! Well done team!
