SUMMARY:Summer Synthetic Biology Talk_Taku Miztuntani: Exploring Enzymes Catalyzing the Formation of Non-Canonical Amino Acids
DESCRIPTION:This Wednesday\, Prof. Taku Miztutani\, an assistant professor in Prof. Abe’s laboratory at the University of Tokyo will present. He will be giving a talk on his work for non-canonical amino acid biochemistry\, biocatalysis\, & biosynthesis. \nTalk Title: Exploring Enzymes Catalyzing the Formation of Non-Canonical Amino Acids\nTalk Abstract: Non-canonical aminoacids (NCAAs) serve as valuable building blocks for the structurally and functionally diverse bioactive compounds. Enzymatic synthesis offers a highly efficient and selective approach to accessing these molecules\, owing to the remarkable regio- and stereoselectivity of enzymatic transformations\, as well as their compatibility with mild reaction conditions. In this presentation\, I will discuss our recent efforts to discover and characterize bacterial enzymes capable of catalyzing the modification of standard amino acids to form functionalized NCAAs\, mainly about the biosynthesis of α-hydroxy-β-amino acids(norstatines). \n

SUMMARY:Engineered Living Materials for the Built Environment Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Engineered Living Materials for the Built Environment Exhibition. Engineered Living Materials is an exciting area of study combining engineered microbes in polymeric materials using additive manufacturing (3D printing). Based on cutting-edge\, NSF-funded Engineered Living Material (ELM) research that integrates synthetic biology with polymer science\, graduate students in Architecture envision how this new material category could be integrated into buildings and cities of the future. The interdisciplinary work combines material science\, computational design\, 3D-printed material samples\, and design projects that leverage the potential of these innovative materials. \nThis work is part of an NSF EFRI ELiS research grant at the University of Washington\, led by Professor Nelson\, Chemistry\, in collaboration with Professor Olánrewájú\, Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering\, Professor Proksch\, Architecture\, and researchers at the University of Texas at Austin\nand the University of California Davis (https://elis.be.uw.edu/).

SUMMARY:MolES Seminar - Winter 2025_Dr. Ben Woolston_Engineering bacteria to solve problems in renewable chemical production and human health
DESCRIPTION:Engineering bacteria to solve problems in renewable chemical production and human health \nDr. Ben Woolston \nAssistant Professor\, Chemical Engineering \nNortheastern University \nAbstract: The synthetic biology revolution has given us the ability to genetically reprogram microbes to serve a wide variety of purposes\, from miniscule chemical factories that orchestrate exquisitely selective enzymatic pathways to produce fuels\, pharmaceuticals and polymers\, to biological computers that can sense their chemical environment and implement complex decision-making algorithms. The overall goal of the Woolston lab is to harness this potential for applications in renewable energy production and the human gut microbiota. This talk will present an overview of the two major current thrusts of the lab: In the first\, we are engineering anaerobic bacteria for the conversion of renewable single-carbon feedstocks to biofuels\, taking advantage of a number of economic and ethical benefits of using these substrates compared to 1st and 2nd generation biofuel efforts. In the second\, we are developing engineered microbes that can sense and modulate the levels of disease-associated metabolites in the human gut\, with an initial focus on hydrogen sulfide; a toxic\, volatile molecule implicated in the onset of IBD and colorectal cancer. As well as the exciting applied potential of the resultant technology\, these efforts provide us with model systems with which to ask broader fundamental questions about microbial metabolism

SUMMARY:ChemE Graduate Seminar Series_Wilfred Chen_Gore Professor of Chemical Engineering\, University of Delaware
DESCRIPTION:Wilfred Chen\nGore Professor of Chemical Engineering\,\nInterim Associate Dean for Research and Entrepreneurship\,\nUniversity of Delaware\nNovember 5\nLecture 9:00 – 9:50 a.m. | JHN 075\nReception 10:00 -11:00 a.m. | BNS 109 \nAbstract\nInspired by the remarkable ability of natural protein switches to sense and respond to a wide range of environmental queues\, here we reported new strategies to engineer synthetic protein switches to dynamically organize proteins with highly diverse and complex architectures. This new framework can be used to dynamically control the spatial proximity and the corresponding functions of different proteins for both in vitro and in vivo applications. The general utility of the strategy was used to perform Boolean logic operations to provide explicit control of protein function using multi-input\, reversible\, and amplification architectures suitable for a wide range of applications.\nBio\nProfessor Wilfred Chen joined the University of Delaware on January 1\, 2011 as the Gore Professor of Chemical Engineering. He obtained his B.S. degree from UCLA in 1988 and his Ph.D. from Caltech in 1993\, both in Chemical Engineering. After a one-year postdoc in Switzerland\, he joined UC Riverside in 1994. He was Professor of Chemical and Environmental Engineering and the holder of the Presidential Chair until he joined the University of Delaware in 2011. His research interests are in Synthetic Biology and Protein Engineering. Professor Chen has published more than 290 journal papers and delivered over 100 invited lectures. He serves on the editorial board for many scientific publications\, including: Applied and Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology and Bioengineering. He is also the editor/associate editor for the Biochemical Engineering Journal\, Biotechnology Journal\, and AICHE Journal. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).\nProfessor Chen has also received numerous awards\, including: the NSF Career Award\, AIChE Food\, Pharmaceutical\, and Bioengineering Division 15c Plenary Lecture\, Biotechnology Progress Award for Excellence in Biological Engineering Publication\, Daniel I.C. Wang Award for Excellence in Biochemical Engineering from AICHE/SBE\, Marvin J. Johnson Award in Microbial & Biochemical Technology from ACS\, and the AICHE Food\, Pharmaceutical & the Bioengineering Division Award.
