Advanced bioengineering of plant hormone receptors may lead to controlling complex genetic circuits in living cells, according to new research by Associate Professor Timothy Whitehead and his partners. Their paper, “Plant hormone receptors as reprogrammable scaffolds for rapid biosensor development," was recently published in Nature Biotechnology.
Students from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering presented their research as part of the competitive NC State University Future Leaders in Chemical Engineering symposium this past October. Three students from the department were recognized as awardees.
Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a platform which can quickly identify common mutations on the SARS-CoV-2 virus that allow it to escape antibodies and infect cells.
