A great introduction to Luis Montano, our second speaker for Monday 4th June's #ChatSci! - This is the cover from an issue in Science published last year in which they explain how to manufacture yeast chromosomes from synthetic DNA. This is part of the synthetic yeast 2.0 project (which was led by Edinburgh!). Picture c/o Science Magazine: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/355/6329/1040.full - For all the information on speakers and more, head on over to the events page! http://ow.ly/BI3m30keZcu - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries4 #Edinburgh #scientist #scientistswhoselfie #genomic #genomicsciences #informatics #iGEM #research #wellcometrust #cellbiology #biology #postdoc #phd #bacteria #pig #biosensing #gut #yeast #protein #membrane #fluorescent #science #sciencemag #DNA #syntheticDNA

Luis Montano, our second speaker for Monday 4th June's #ChatSci! - This is a picture of the yeast candida albicans in which proteins at the membrane have been made fluorescent in order to monitor them. - For all the information on speakers and more, head on over to the events page! http://ow.ly/BI3m30keZcu - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries4 #Edinburgh #scientist #scientistswhoselfie #genomic #genomicsciences #informatics #iGEM #research #wellcometrust #cellbiology #biology #postdoc #phd #bacteria #pig #biosensing #gut #yeast #protein #membrane #fluorescent

#andnow our second speaker for #ChatSci on Monday 4th June... Luis Montano! - Luis Montano did his undergrad on Genomic Sciences at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, where the purpose was to integrate informatics with biological data. During that time, Luis participated 3 times in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Competition held by MIT. Afterwards he did research internships at the Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory (Home of Nobel Prize winner James Watson) and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. He then joined the Wellcome Trust PhD Programme in Cell Biology and recently finished his PhD in cellular decision making at the lab of Peter Swain a the University of Edinburgh. He currently does a Post-Doc at the same lab. - These images are from a recent science paper showing a pig with a biosensing device powered by bacteria. The bacteria produce a response in response to blood in the stomach which is an indicator of an gut problem in the animal. - For all the information on speakers and more, head on over to the events page! http://ow.ly/BI3m30keZcu - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries4 #Edinburgh #scientist #scientistswhoselfie #genomic #genomicsciences #informatics #iGEM #research #wellcometrust #cellbiology #biology #postdoc #phd #bacteria #pig #biosensing #gut
