So happy to share the amazing work of @CarrenoYugueros using #synbio engineered bacteria to sense #microbiome nutrient availability in the gut with beautiful microscopy. @IC_CSynBio @ImperialInfect & @TheCrick. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super proud to share our latest pre-print with @driglar 🎉 ! Using an engineered bacterial biosensor 🦠 we monitored sialic acid (an important metabolite for gut microbes) in the gut. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our labs latest paper.
We use #synbio for biosensor discovery to aid our quest to build 'smart probiotics' to sense and treat disease.
Well done @KlondikeClare et al!
Thanks @wellcometrust for funding!
