🚨 An exciting frontier is bringing synthetic biology to MULTIcellular systems. To effectively engineer them, we need design principles. What are the benefits of group formation? What are the costs? See our new preprint led by @heidiklumpe.bsky.social to learn more!👇

The preprint from my work @mokhalil.bsky.social and Mary Dunlop's groups at BU is out on bioRxiv! As new tools come online to engineer multicellularity, we asked: how does sticking cells together into larger groups affect their fitness and function?
