We are so glad to welcome our new undergraduate student, Michael Herschl (Bioengineering) and our new graduate students Adi Mukund (MD/PhD) and Connor Ludwig (Bioengineering) to the lab!

In other news, the lab was awarded the MIRA R35 from NIGMS. Congratulations all!

We wrote a review article covering the recent developments at the intersection of single-cell measurements, mammalian synthetic biology manipulations, and mathematical models of gene regulation.

Here we review recent work that has taken promising initial steps towards the kind of quantitative, single-cell gene regulation framework that will enable us to understand, predict, and design gene regulatory systems in mammalian cells.

We had a great time diving into the literature and writing out our view of the field at this exciting moment. Enjoy this early look at what the Bintu lab is thinking about.

Our three new graduate students bring in diverse backgrounds and research skills:

Mike Van (Biology)

Josh Tycko (Genetics)

Sarah Lensch (Bioengineering)

Welcome to the lab everybody!

Lab BBQ with new students, rotation students, and significant others. This time we remembered to take a photo for the website 🙂

The incubators are shaking, the scope is imaging, the thermocyclers are cycling, the massive Goodsell poster of the cell is hung on the wall – we are all moved in!

Thank you to the formidable efforts of lab manager Rhonda DiGiusto and building manager Patrick Carlson to create our beautiful space.

We’re sharing the space with Possu Huang’s lab of protein engineers.
