Out now our work to accelerate the development of biocatalysts completely outside of cells! Barely using twitter, and now engaging more frequently on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ashtykarim/
How can we create versatile biocatalysts for sustainable chemistry faster? We can use ML-guided design of enzymes enabled by synthetic biology. Research led by Grant Landwehr & Jon Bogart @NUSynBio @akarimlab

Developing high-throughput biology workflows can be plagued by variability. We identify some key variables and strategies to get the most from high-throughput cell-free experiments. Check it out!

New work from the group applying cell-free protein engineering to develop metal binding sensors. We specifically modulate dynamic range and sensitivity of the PbrR transcription factor for lead detection at the legal limit. Check it out!
Is your water safe to drink? Point-of-use diagnostics are needed to address the growing crisis of water security. With @holly_ekas Brenda Wang @akarimlab @LucksLab @NUSynBio we engineered a cell-free biosensor to detect lead at the legal limit @ACSSynBio
