Senior Scientist @ Berkeley Lab; Startup Co-founder; On Detail to Bioenergy Technologies Office, U.S. Department of Energy
Now seems like a good time to share this group application google form again. Typically I'm looking for postdocs and PhD students but these are unprecedented times and folks should fee free to fill this out no matter their career level. If I can't personally hire you, I'll happily try to link people up with good opportunities: https://lnkd.in/g4f2gvhW

Congratulations to our Scientific Lead for Biological Lignin Depolymerization, Jennifer Doudna, for being awarded a National Medal of Technology and Innovation!
Biochemist and Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna, a faculty scientist in #BioMBIB at Berkeley Lab has received the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the nation’s highest honor for technological achievement for her work developing the #CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology. This method is the basis of many promising medical technologies, including tools to diagnose and treat disease, and has many applications for the development of improved crops, biofuels, and bioproducts.

Our CTO Blake Simmons was just elected as a fellow to the National Academy of Inventors! Blake was recognized for his work on ionic liquids, the molten salts #JBEI uses to break down the structural portions of plants to access sugars that can be converted into biofuels and bioproducts. Congratulations Blake! https://lnkd.in/gan_jh5V

“It turned out that 89% of the proteins we studied contained fragments that can activate transcription if they’re in the correct context,” Niklas Hummel said, referring to a in paper published today in Cell Systems about using #machinelearning to screen of the proteins in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, in search of non-transcription factor proteins that have transcriptional activity. https://lnkd.in/gYQt__dd
