DESCRIPTION:Building synthetic cells requires hundreds of genes and molecul
 es working together\, in the same cell\, at the same time. No one has yet 
 integrated biological systems at this scale. I created prototype synthetic
  cells using defined parts—an enclosing lipid membrane\, a fully-defined
  synthetic cytosol\, and several cell-essential systems encoded as DNA and
  expressed within the cells—and observed these synthetic cells using cry
 o-electron tomography. I show that cryo-ET can be used not only to make ob
 servations\, but as a universal engineering assay\, capable of quantifying
  and characterizing multiple cell components simultaneously\, regardless o
 f each component’s function. Using this visual measurement I show how to
  determine concentrations and structures of multiple molecules simultaneou
 sly\, driving the integration of molecular parts into synthetic cells\, an
 d providing insight and inspiration for ongoing efforts to produce life fr
 om scratch.\n\nPublic Zoom link: https://stanford.zoom.us/j/97716594246?pw
