Drug-inducible RNA aptaswitch for regulating eukaryotic protein expression

Using in vivo evolution techniques, scientists in the Liu laboratory have engineered a drug-inducible aptaswitch for regulating eukaryotic protein expression at the transcription level. This aptaswitch consists of two modular RNA elements: a…

Novel methods for generating regulatory T-cells

Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are key mediators of peripheral tolerance that can actively suppress effector T-cells, inhibit inflammation and mediate self-tolerance. Unlike naturally occurring Tregs (nTregs) which develop in the thymus,…

Small-molecule-triggered intein splicing as a universal switch for protein activation

Researchers in the laboratory of Professor David Liu have used directed evolution techniques to evolve an intein-based molecular switch that transduces binding of a small molecule into the activation of an arbitrary protein of interest. To create…

A system for the continuous directed evolution of biomolecules

Researchers in the laboratory of Professor David Liu have developed a platform that enables the continuous directed evolution of gene-encoded molecules that can be linked to protein production in E. coli. During phage-assisted continuous evolution…

Interaction-dependent PCR: Multiplexed identification of ligand-target pairs from DNA-encoded ligand/target libraries in a single solution-phase experiment

IDPCR is based on the melting temperature difference between duplex DNA formed intramolecularly versus intermolecularly. Binding of a target to its ligand would increase the effective molarity of single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides linked to the…

Novel target in NK cell mediated antigen specific memory responses

The von Andrian laboratory discovered a novel mechanism for inducing antigen specific immunological memory. Their research examines the role of a molecular target not previously known to be associated with the natural killer (NK) cell mediated…

Small-molecule macrocycles: Potent and selective Src kinase inhibitors

Macrocyclic compounds have unique properties that allow them to cover regions of chemical space not addressed by other small-molecule structural classes. By performing an in vitro selection screen of a broad untargeted DNA-encoded library of 13,824…

Bisphosphonates as novel adjuvants to enhance the adaptive immune response, validated with common types of vaccine antigens and commercial vaccines

Despite decades of adjuvant research, only a handful of adjuvants have been approved in seven major global markets and only two (Alum and GSK’s AS04) are licensed in the US. The availability of additional adjuvants has been minimized due to…
