So nice of you, Pablo! I'm so lucky to start this with you side by side! So many work to do together ahead

Thank you, Francis!

I’m very grateful for the mentorship and support I’ve received over the years. I hope to build an equally exciting and supportive environment in our new group!

This work shows how materials and microbes can cooperate to create a new class of autonomous drug depots.

Huge thanks to everyone in the Mooney Lab and collaborators at @wyssinstitute.bsky.social and @harvardseas.bsky.social who made this possible!

Encapsulated bacteria act as living sensors - detecting infection and releasing therapy on demand.
We used this system to functionalize prosthetic implants and autonomously treat infections in mice.

Living bacteria can make drugs in vivo but risk spreading.
Implantable materials deliver drugs locally but can’t sense or adapt.
We built a stiff, tough hydrogel that safely contains therapeutic bacteria for 6+ months and resists mechanical stress.

Can I also be part of the list? Thank you!

Hey Garrett, can you also help adding me to the list? Thanks!

Hi Rahul, could I be added to the list? Thank you!!

Hi Santi, I'd love to be added to the list. Thank you so much!

Could you also add me as well? Thank you!
