The Hurricane Microbiome Project

  The Alkek Center for Metagenomics and Microbiome Research (CMMR) at Baylor College of Medicine is pursuing numerous research and development efforts in the study of how the microbiome impacts human disease and how this knowledge can be translated into novel therapeutics and diagnostics. Among these efforts is a new study involving the impact of major disasters, such as Hurricane Harvey, where associated flooding and other environmental exposures to chemicals or pathogens (e.g. mold), and their impact on human health, may be reflected in the microbiome of exposed individuals.

Accurate Prediction of On- and Off-Target Cardiotoxicity with Human iPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes

genengnews

Latent cardiovascular toxicity issues continue to plague late-stage drug discovery efforts, as well as commercially launched pharmaceutical success. Many current in vitro models lack, or incompletely recapitulate, important aspects of human cardiac biology, thus allowing certain toxicities to escape detection until the non-human primate and clinical trial stages of drug development. Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology brings relevant human biology to the laboratory and with it, great promise for early predictive detection of cardiotoxicity.

Rapid Assembly of the RFP Gene with Enzymatic DNA Synthesis

DNA assembly is commonly performed in the build step of the design-build-test-learn cycle at the core of synthetic biology. In many assembly workflows, DNA is assembled into gene fragments, which are then assembled into larger constructs, often plasmids.
