Last but not least, we enjoyed a great keynote by Seraphine Wegner, from the Universität Münster.
We best understand things that we can build ourselves. So lets build a living cell🦠! We heard of exciting approaches for the control of communication between cell mimics using light💡.
Its a wrap for #GCSB2026🎉
We want to thank everyone involved in making GCSB possible🫶.
Thanks to the staff, all of our attendees for beeing the heart and soul of this event, and lots and lots of thanks to our partners at DECHEMA and the GFGSB for making GCSB an amazing collaborative experience🫶
The final session of #GCSB2026 on Synthetic Genomics and Gene Circuits is kicked-off by Dominic Schirmer from the Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf.
He shared his approach on engineering enhancer sequencences, allowing for precise tuning of gene expression in plants🌱!
Christina Peternell, from Technische Universität München, showed us an exciting approach to control cellular expression of genes by using a regulatory RNA thermometer🌡️!
Congratulations to the winners of the poster prize, sponsored by Plasmidsaurus🎉🦕!
1️⃣Clemens Felix Hausmann
2️⃣Saskia Frank
3️⃣Kristyna Lipovská / Daniela Mácalová
The winners receive 100€ each, and on top, 100€, 250€ and 500€ worth of plasmid sequencing respectively!
Jorin Riexinger, from Imperial College London, combines 3D-printing of tissues together with functionalized bacteria🦠.
This allowed for the construction of a material that can drive gene expression of incorporated bacteria in a specific pattern🧩.
Next we listened to Janis Hötzel from the Technische Universität Darmstadt. He wondefully guided us through the world of riboswitches, highlighting applications, mechanisms and engineering approaches⚙️.
Back after the break, we start with the session on Biomedical Applications, introduced by Dagmar Wirth from Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research. She shared her work on engineered cells that can sense early infection bio-markers, resulting in a designed response♻️.
Finally, we listend to Wilfried Weber from the INM-Leibniz Institute for New Materials. He highlighted exciting approaches for biomaterials as tools for medicine⚕️ and construction🔨.
We next listen to Moritz Burghardt from Tel Aviv University. We heard of computational tools for the engineering of synthetic promoters📈!
