Excited to share our work on cell-free engineering of synthetic EVs at the "EV and LNP 2026" conference. Looking forward to talks by #AijunWang, #NirenMurthy, #MeiHe, #EunjiChung, and colleagues. #synbio #UCDavisBME buff.ly/SU3UzU0

Great to see UC Davis BME represented at #BMES 2026 in Orlando! Great colleagues, happy students, fantastic staff! And, it was my first time experiencing a fire alarm and evacuation in a major conference. #BMES #UCDavisBMEGG #synbio

Congrats to #Ofelya (leftmost in the photo) for the successful PhD thesis defense. Wonderful to work with these talented young researchers. Even better when they support each other, and bake their own cake for the celebration! #UCDavisBMEGG #synbio

How to measure airborne nanoplastics? UC Davis BMEGG faculty, Randy Carney, will tackle the challenge using Raman spectroscopy and cell models. If successful, the method can change health-risk studies! buff.ly/vtirqTo #UCDavisBME #Nanoplastics
