Our latest take on bacterial biosensors is out. We discuss new output modalities and improved biophysical interfaces for better integration into field-deployable devices. @cbsmontpellier.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New paper from the @cbsmontpellier.bsky.social "CF2H: a cell-free two-hybrid platform for rapid protein binder screening " now out in Nature Communications www.nature.com/articles/s41...

CF2H: a cell-free two-hybrid platform for rapid protein binder screening - Nature Communications

Faster and cheaper experimental screening methods will democratize and accelerate the identification of high-affinity binders with biomedical applications. Here the authors present Cell-Free Two-Hybri...

Controlled colonization of the human gut with a genetically engineered microbial therapeutic

Precision microbiome programming for therapeutic applications is limited by challenges in achieving reproducible colonic colonization. Previously, we created an exclusive niche that we used to engraft...

#MicroSky: Biosensors in GLOBAL HEALTH: Microbial biosensors offer cost-effective & sensitive tools for environmental risk analysis and early disease detection & monitoring. A leap toward sustainable health solutions! Discussed by Capin et al. Read here: https://buff.ly/3OI1UUQ

We updated our BindCraft preprint with lots of new exciting results! We release all our binder sequences and models, include more in silico analysis, novel design targets, and present AAV retargeting to specific cell types using de novo binders! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Could one envision a synthetic receptor technology that is fully programmable, able to detect diverse extracellular antigens – both soluble and cell-attached – and convert that recognition into a wide range of intracellular responses, from gene expression and real-time fluorescence to modulation..

Hello Bluesky ! Introducing the Centre de Biologie Structurale (CBS), a research lab of around 150 people, located in Montpellier, South of France 🔆. Our 12 teams develop and use new technologies in structural biology, single molecule biophysics and synthetic biology to tackle biological questions.
