Policy and Innovation Panel discussion underway. Lots of questions from the audience. No easy answers to solving the training, policy, scale up and engagement challenges that still exist around Engineering Biology #sbuk2025 #sbuk
Just home from a cracking couple of days down at the @aria-research.bsky.social Programmable Plants creator event down in Harrogate. Really interesting sessions working with amazing plant scientists on bold bets, visions for the 2050 and how to translate our work into real world impact! #gainsbio
Matt Rogan talking us through the engineering of Geobacillus this morning #sbuk2025 #sbuk
Brilliant to have @rochelleaw.bsky.social back in the UK and starting up her group at Nottingham. Doing really cool cell-free glycosylated protein production. #sbuk #sbuk2025
Great talk by Sarah Guiziou on all of the amazing things integrases can be used for to study and engineer plant roots. And how to engineer root-microbe interactions #sbuk #sbuk2025
Delighted to be one of the 14 Seed Creators in the @aria-research.bsky.social Programmable Plants opportunity space!
Really impressive talk on artificial cells and all the behaviours that can be built up inside them using DNA by @waltherlab.bsky.social #sbuk2025 #sbuk
And we're off with an overview of a decade of Synthetic Biology UK conferences by the amazing Karen Polizzi #sbuk25 #sbuk2025 #syntheticbiology #synbio #engineeringbiology
Delighted to announce that we are one of 14 ARIA Seed Creators in the Programmable Plants space!
We're engineering bacteria as smart conduits between the plant & environment, reprogramming crops in the field, to respond appropriately to moderate stress.
