Led by @taylorszyszka.bsky.social + Dav, the first part of a big effort to make simple CO2-fixing cages is out @natcomms.nature.com 🦠➡️🌻

Encapsulation is one step towards keeping Rubisco focused on its very important job...

Congrats @taylorszyszka.bsky.social for leading the charge, along with all our team members and collaborators

We're hiring!🚨Our lab is looking for two new postdocs for our drug discovery program:

1) Synthetic/Med Chem (small molecule hit-to-lead)🧪

Pls spread the word!🙏

Big crowd to see Prof Sir Shankar Balasubramanian give the 2025 Cornforth Lecture @sydneyuni.bsky.social School of Chemistry.

Very happy for all the students who have seen his science in my undergraduate lectures... They finally get to see him now in action for real! 🧬

The completely wild thing to me is that it works better than when we assemble the encapsulin cages in E. coli.

The assemblies are more stable and just look better.

The cargo packaging is way more efficient with very little cargo wasted. This is truly more cargo agnostic than in vivo packaging.
