Happy to share the latest work from the group, where we show a technique to amplify signals in microbial fuel cells. This can help make a new type of living bacterial device more sensitive and practical. Read the article here: www.cell.com/device/fullt...

Amplification of enzymatic and microbial fuel cells using organic electrochemical transistors
We demonstrate a simple and versatile approach to living microbial devices by coupling OECTs to microbial fuel cells. The OECTs serve to amplify currents and improve signal quality. The relative power...

Enjoyed hosting Dr Yagmur Yegin today at Rice. She gave an interesting talk in my polymers course on polymers for food safety. She even shared some natural silk cacoons that can be extracted and used in food coatings which I might explore for bacterial encapsulation.

Got my signed copy at Brazos Bookstore. If you’re an NBA fan or especially a Rockets fan or grew up in Houston during the rockets championship season you should definitely get this book!
