Accelerating Synthetic Biotic Development with Gut-on-a-chip Technology
M. Tyler Nelson & Mark R. Charbonneau--This article provides additional details on a successful collaboration between the 711th Human Performance Wing, Air Force Research Laboratory and Synlogic Inc., to develop human gut-on-a-chip models for screening high potential synbiotics.
Six Years for One Step Towards Unnatural Amino Acid–Controlled Gene Therapy
Stories behind the paper “Restoration of dystrophin expression in mice by suppressing a nonsense mutation through the incorporation of unnatural amino acids” that was recently published in Natural Biomedical Engineering.
Next generation sequencer repurposed for the oligonucleotide libraries purification
We recently developed oligonucleotide libraries purification technology called "MOPSS". We repurposed next generation sequencing (NGS) instrument for massively parallel purification of oligonucleotides libraries and we believe that MOPSS will flourish nucleic acid-based technologies.
