In our recent work, we introduce a strategy to enhance battery performance without relying on high fractions of fluorinated species in electrolytes, thus reducing both the environmental footprint and cost of high-energy batteries. By incorporating very low fractions (∼0.1 wt%) of readily reducible fluorinated cations into the electrolyte and leveraging electrostatic attraction, we can generate a significant concentration of these cations at the anode surface. This approach allows us to form a fluorine-rich SEI, enabling the stable cycling of Li-metal full cells with high-voltage cathodes. Our method presents a general strategy for delivering desired chemical species to battery anodes through electrostatic attraction, while using minimal amounts of additives. This work, led by my PhD student Nathan Hong, is the result of a fruitful collaboration with the teams of Jeremy Feldblyum, Netanel Shpigel and Oleg Borodin. Link to the paper in the comment below ⤵
Scientific innovation requires strategic partnerships. The Alternative Methods Advancement Project (AMAP) involves the continuation of our strategy to partner with companies to co-develop business solutions and externally developed technologies to enhance our ability to deliver on alternatives to animal models in research.

New Matter is back after a short vacation with a new episode featuring Glenwood Barbee, M.B.A., Product Marketer at Benchling. Glenwood discusses Benchling Connect – a platform designed to accelerate connectivity and automation in laboratory settings – and highlights their mission to revolutionize biotechnology by bringing modern software to modern science. The conversation delves into the challenges of data standardization in life sciences and discusses some pain points including disconnected instruments, inaccessible data due to proprietary formats and fragmented analytics leading to data lineage issues while also shedding light on the critical role of data standardization and automation in driving scientific progress.

Learn more about my amazing colleague Jinel Shah, our "Woman vs. Machine" protein design challenge" and how protein engineers and AI together make better proteins.
🧬 Welcome to the second installment of our "Cradle Unfolded" series, where we learn from the individuals who make up the Cradle team! In this post, we're honored to feature Jinel Shah, one of the scientists working diligently to optimize our wet lab processes. Jinel joins us with extensive experience from her previous position as a protein engineer at Genomatica, where she contributed to projects such as the commercialization of plant-based nylon production. Throughout this thoughtful conversation, Jinel shares her insights on the evolving field of protein engineering. She reflects on the potential of AI and machine learning to expedite the design process, the significance of fostering collaboration between biologists and mathematicians, and Cradle's efforts to make these advanced tools more accessible to the scientific community. From discussing the primary challenges in the field to expressing her interest in participating in our "Woman vs. Machine" protein design challenge, Jinel provides a unique and valuable perspective on the work being done by scientists at the vanguard of the protein design revolution. 👉 https://lnkd.in/djU-zBnS
𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘮 isn't just something your body does to break down food. It's also something that every single cell in an animal's body does, and as you can see from this image, it's an incredibly intricate process. Understanding the interconnected pathways of cellular metabolism helps us design scalable and robust methods for growing animal products. Just ask Dr. Sagit Shalel Levanon, who leads the pioneering work of our process development team. Check out our interview with Sagit in the first comment below! ©️Roche
🧐Understanding how plants cope with single and combined environmental stresses is fascinating - yet challenging. Our latest preprint, "Integration of multi-omics and deep phenotyping provides novel insights into multiple abiotic stress responses in potato", showcases a multidisciplinary study of drought🌵, heat🌡️, and waterlogging💦 effects on the most important non-cereal crop🥔(https://lnkd.in/eB496wcU). A big shout-out to the whole #ADAPT team and especially to the first authors: Maja Zagorscak, Lamis Abdelhakim, Natalia Yaneth Rodriguez Granados, Jitka Široká, and Arindam Ghatak🙌 🤗

"The past four decades have been a golden age for the use of interspecies comparisons to study culture and cultural evolution. Human dependence on cultural adaptations and the ability to cumulatively evolve extremely complex technology and social institutions are not matched quantitively by any nonhuman species, but most of the qualitative features of human culture have been documented in other species (1). It is interesting to compare these systems with human culture to see whether they obey some general principles and to explain why they differ. On page 920 of this issue, Gunasekaram et al. report that chimpanzees—the closest living relative to humans—exhibit cumulative culture (2). By combining population genetics with observations of tool use, their study suggests an association between population interchanges and the emergence and sharing of complex tool sets among chimpanzees. The study adds to the debate on what makes human culture different". https://lnkd.in/dDr3Agqd
Hi LinkedIn, I would like to share the news that an article from a huge scientific study in which I took part, reached 300 reads on ReaserchGate. 🏆 "Modelling the spatial distribution of Fasciola hepatica in dairy cattle in Europe" https://lnkd.in/d2ZK3Aue #data #dataanalytics #modeling
Our CEO Alex spoke to Ali last month about ŌGI Bio's origins and our plans to shake up the world of #MicrobialCulturing. Check out the article from Fruitionary below. #Biotechnology #Automation #SyntheticBiology
Growing up, I was captivated by the possibilities of emerging biology. This wasn't just an interest—it became an obsession. I immersed myself completely, studying day and night, listening to IndieBio pitches while driving, even late into the night. Today, at Fruitionary, that obsession has transformed into a mission: to support and highlight the innovative companies that are reshaping our world. We strive to sponsor those pushing boundaries. We've been very fortunate to collaborate with ŌGI Bio. Alex McVey, Teuta Pilizota, and their team are on the cusp of democratizing lab solutions, making them more accessible than ever. Their dedication and vision are truly inspiring. To champion their success, we've crafted an in-depth article that tells their remarkable story. It's been an honor to bring their journey to light. I invite you all to read about their groundbreaking work at: https://lnkd.in/gKekY7TY Thank you for tuning in.
