An integrated experimental and computational method could make site-specific recombination more efficient and predictable. A research team used the model to predict and control simultaneous production of multiple proteins within a cell, pointing to applications in regenerative medicine and cell therapy.

Researchers at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities developed the experimental model to calculate the rate of site-specific recombination and then used it to train a machine-learning algorithm. Their study was published July 20 in Nature Communications… Continue reading.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has announced the election of Casim A. Sarkar, Ph.D., Associate Professor Distinguished University Teaching Professor, Dept. of Biomedical Engineering, University of Minnesota to its College of Fellows. Dr. Sarkar was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the AIMBE College of Fellows for outstanding innovations in analyzing and engineering biomolecular interactions and cell signaling.

The College of Fellows is comprised of the top two percent of medical and biological engineers in the country. The most accomplished and distinguished engineering and medical school chairs, research directors, professors, innovators, and successful entrepreneurs comprise the College of Fellows.
