Excited to share our latest manuscript completed in collaboration with Dr. Snehal Chaudhari
@uwbiochem.bsky.social ! Rational Design and Evaluation of Novel TGR5 Agonists for Diabeteshttps://www.mdpi.com/3814322
@wiscsurgerymis.bsky.social
New methods developed in the Chaudhari Lab open the door to questions about folate (vitamin B9) distribution and how folates and the gut microbiome interact. Read more about their research, published today in @natmetabolism.nature.com: biochem.wisc.edu/2026/03/26/m...
The cover art, inspired by the classic Pink Floyd cover art from "The Dark Side of the Moon", depicts a white noise protein oscillation being filtered by a yeast expressing a specific synthetic circuit design into more precise, single-color waveforms. This visual echoes the noise-guided design strategies associated with Bolshakov et al.
Congratulations to my student Dennis Bolshakov and his coauthors @weix.us, Tommy, and @born2raisecell.bsky.social on making the cover of ACS Synthetic Biology! A great paper and an awesome cover 🥳 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
