New publication from our Max Planck colleagues 👇
Excited to share our new @pnas.org paper! We used reconstitution approaches and synthetic cells to uncover what drives bispecific T cell engagers efficiency. This helps future #immunotherapy design and demonstrates the potential of synthetic cells in #immunoengineering:

Although I've now taken a back seat, it is great to see the growing adoption of SBOL Visual in the synthetic and engineering biology literature and even more awesome to see so many current and visiting students to my lab on the author list😍 Roll on 2035! arxiv.org/abs/2507.04601
More on yesterday's announcement that our Director Dek Woolfson has been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Recombinases your thing? In the latest from my lab, Veronica Greco shows how @nanopore sequencing + automated liquid handling provides the perfect platform for characterising these systems at scale! Awesome collaboration with @jennbrophy.bsky.social @sarah-guiziou.bsky.social doi.org/10.1101/2025...
What to agument your favourite protein with new functionalities? 🛠️ We've got a #biodesign workflow to help with that! In work led by @georgiehs.bsky.social we present SIMPLIFE that blends biophyscial and #ML models to extend biology in useful ways. #synbio doi.org/10.1101/2025...
Great to see this report out from the UK Government Office for Science on 'Mirror Life'. Was nice to contribute to the discussions and thoughts on this topic with other UK colleagues. #synbio www.gov.uk/government/p...

This afternoon, we continued with more inspiring talks from:
Velia Siciliano (Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia), Will Milligan (Extracellular), Max Jamilly (Hoxton Farms), Giulia Cuccato (Academy of Medical Sciences)
Huge thanks to our speakers! Excited for networking tonight before starting Day 2!
Kicking off our first CDT Summer School in Bristol this week! 🎓
3 days of talks, workshops & networking with students, academics & industry partners.
Excited for the connections & insights ahead!

Two renowned University of Bristol researchers have been elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences.
Can we build synthetic cells from de novo designed proteins?
