Can we learn the rules of phage host targeting well enough to design new ones? In our new paper, we use large-scale mutational data + deep learning to engineer T7 phages for 26 different tasks, from enhanced infectivity and precise specificity to targeting unseen bacterial strains. A step toward predictive phage engineering. Great work by Naia Novy and fun collab with @romerolab1 doi.org/10.1016/j.cels.2026.…

Kaitlyn continues to break barriers with her innovations for using LEA proteins to solve another major cryo-EM sample prep issue! This work should be of great interest to friends who are struggling with particle orientation bias. Another funtastic Lim X Grant collaboration!
1/5: Our latest preprint is out!
We show that LEA proteins can diversify particle orientations in cryo-EM, helping to overcome preferred orientation at the air-water interface (AWI).
