We are excited to announce that Objective Biotechnology has received an NIH SBIR Phase II award to advance the Autoinjector automated microinjection platform!

I'm pleased to release some truly incredible work from my lab. Presenting ADAPTERS: Ancestral DNA Across Phylogenetic Tree Evolutionary Reference Sequences drive.google.com/file/d/1NNJO...

🧵 New preprint led by @bingbrunton.bsky.social, @elliottabe.bsky.social, @lawrencehu.bsky.social We gave a worm brain control of a fly body and it walked What did we learn? Nothing, other than deep reinforcement learning is effective We call it the digital sphinx www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Time flies like an arrow… fruit flies like a banana 🍌🪰For 100+ years, Drosophila has powered biomedical discovery—~85% of human disease genes have fly homologs.See our Autoinjector at @genetics-gsa.bsky.social in Chicago—and bring your best fly joke 😄 #Dros26

🪰 folks! Despite Harvard lawsuit outcome, FlyBase NIH grant was not released. FlyBase now runs on the public, like NPR, PBS etc. If we don't step up, it can go away! Donations site on flybase.org homepage. Note: it links to IU stock center, but its for FlyBase, see instructions. pls give+share! 2/2

Objective Biotechnology was proud to sponsor the European Drosophila Research Conference in Alicante! 🚀 The Autoinjector was a huge hit, and we’re officially launched in Europe. Alicante is stunning—rich history, walkable streets, and perfect weather. Highly recommend a visit! 🌞 #EDRC #Biotech

FlyBase needs your help! Visit the link below for more information, and please consider donating to help save this amazing resource. wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase...

Fly labs — Now is the time to show some solidarity and chip in support for this vital resource!

Really excited to share this milestone! It has been so fun to see this instrument evolve from the initial prototype in my and @suhasabk.bsky.social's labs to a commercial product. Congrats to the @objectivebio.bsky.social team!

Dear all, PLEASE add comments on the importance of model organism research at this link:

Devastating indeed. A vital resource, currently clinging to life by crowdfunding

Introducing the Autoinjector by Objective Biotechnology — an affordable, bench-top instrument that automates microinjection for gene editing research. 🔬Book your demo today: objectivebiotechnology.com/autoinjector #Autoinjector #CRISPR #GeneEditing #ObjectiveBiotechnology

157 House of Representatives members signed an amicus brief calling on the First Circuit to uphold a block on the NIH's planned cap on indirect cost reimbursements. Did your representative sign? In MN, only Angie Craig, Betty McCollum, and Kelly Morrison signed. endpoints.news/wp-content/u...

Go right now, don't wait, and read Harvard's response to the government's demands. Everyone needs to fight. Remember Columbia caving got them absolutely nothing back. You can see the gov demands from a link inside Harvard's response. view.hu.harvard.edu?qs=351b45ebf...

Amazing! Congrats @synbiogaolab.bsky.social!

"This will go down as one of the darkest days in modern scientific history." Story on the decimation of NIH by @maxkozlov.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...?

A hundred years ago, the average life expectancy was <50. Today, it is ~80. What made the difference? Public Health. Public health, however, is not some magic entity happening in a vacuum - it requires people. Without those people, there can be no Public Health. That serves no one. Wake up.

Maybe it's a good time to remind everyone that 40% of US Nobel Prize winners are immigrants. America benefits when we welcome global talent. When we block international scientists, we diminish our own future www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

The NIH Scientific Integrity Policy has just been rescinded: how is that not incredibly concerning for the future of science and medicine in the US?!.... Excellent 🧵 by @carlbergstrom.com

Inaugural post on BlueSky! We’re here to share our latest news and connect with you. Give us a follow and help spread the word!

Trying to make sense of the current situation, I put together some thoughts in an op-ed for @elife.bsky.social on what we, as scientists, can do – and what institutions MUST do – to protect science right now elifesciences.org/articles/106...

Hey fellow Drosophila researchers - if you haven't heard, the UMGC is offering ultra low-cost genome sequencing! See here to learn more: z.umn.edu/UMGC-MOSS #Dros25

Excited to launch the Autoinjector instrument at the @genetics-gsa.bsky.social Drosophila Research Conference #Dros25! This device automates microinjection into embryos for gene editing and other genetic manipulations. Learn more here: www.objectivebiotechnology.com

Great turnout at #Stand_Up_For_Science in St. Paul, MN!

Today's the day! Minnesota, let's show up and make our voices heard to support science!

I'm attending the Stand Up for Science rally at the Minnesota State Capitol this Friday, March 7th. Please join me in advocating for science funding and protesting the arbitrary and highly disruptive cuts to our nations' scientific agencies and research universities. standupforscience2025.org

Ok scientists & those who love science 🧪: here is another exhortation. Call Congress TODAY about the freeze on NIH Council Meetings and Study Sections. Emphasize that this means NO new grants are being funded & labs will soon start to shut down and fire employees. Phone numbers are at: 5calls.org

US science is under attack ‘Americans who value the spirit of discovery — and eagerly await new ways to confront disease, strengthen our economy and improve the quality of human life — need to issue a strong outcry.’ www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/o...

Check out our paper on genetically barcoded flies! The barcodes enable multiplexed behavioral assays that are read out by sequencing or can be expressed tissue-specifically to tag cells upstream of single cell transcriptomics. Artwork below by @mdonox.bsky.social - includes a scannable barcode!
