My previous lab, at Boston University, is searching for a new postdoc! Besides being an excellent and rigorous scientist, Mary Dunlop has an entirely deserved reputation of being an exceptional group leader. My three years in her lab have been the highlight of my scientific career so far, and if I am leading a research team one day, I will already be happy if I can make it half as kind, thoughtful and supportive as she made her group. I'd be delighted to answer any questions that potential candidates may have. Announcement below:

> My lab is hiring! We’re looking for a postdoctoral scholar in the area of optogenetic control, single-cell analysis, and gene expression dynamics in microbial systems. For more details see dunloplab.com/

Super Enzyme Regulates Testosterone Levels In Male Ruffs

"A single gene in the shorebird species known as ruffs controls the blood concentrations of testosterone in males, and this in turn affects their appearances and behavior"

Continued thread

3/8 🧬📊 For the first time (or do update us), we've modelled dynamic, plant gene circuits with absolute units for both RNA and protein copies per cell.

You can compare our mathematical models directly to your biochemical data. Over time, both approaches should benefit! #SystemsBiology

4/8 🤖🧪 Those absolute units mean that we can predict the DNA-binding dissociation constants (Kd) of our clock transcription factors in vivo, for example.

After some tricky calibration, we estimated comparable Kd values in vitro from our earlier data and the literature, extending the method to any promoter sequence (more on this later).

So, did they match?
