This is a really brilliant initiative put together by KATO SEBUNYA EMMANUEL and the SynBio4ALL team

A reminder to witnesses who want to contribute to our engineering biology inquiry, answering any of the questions in our call for evidence, that you have until 7 May to submit - details on how to do so can be found here: committees.parliament.uk/call-for-evide…

UK science rolling out the #EngBio A-team to give the Lords a heads up on our emerging field. Highly recommend watching the recording that beautifully explains where we are and where we might be heading. I wish I could be as eloquent! (thanks Tom Ellis Lucia Marucci et al.)

Paper out in Journal of Micro and Bio Robotics about the Fluoro-DOME with Sabine Hauert Ana Maria Eugenia Piddini Thomas Gorochowski Helmut Hauser and Matthew U.

Updates to the DOME include fluorescence imaging and closed-loop wound edge illumination over time.

Alright everybody, what will undoubtedly forever be the lab's strangest discovery is now out in Nature. It's a protein that evolved to self-assemble into a Sierpinski fractal. nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/n

New paper out in Royal Society Publishing on in silico modelling for antibiotic treatment optimisation with Sabine Hauert and Thomas Gorochowski 🦠🖥️📝

Congrats to Johanna Blee on her latest work out in Royal Society Publishing Interface on treatment strategies for AMR with Sabine Hauert and a tiny bit of input from me! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

If looking at the role of compartmentalisation in the origin of life excites you, we have two PhD positions in our lab as part of the EU funded @ darchem-dn.eu. Here is the advert.....uni-saarland.de/fileadmin/uplo….

We are looking for a lab manager to coordinate our lab operation, as our amazing Ellie Payne has been snatched away by Berger Schaffitzel labs at BrisSynBio 🥲 Please come join us — we are a bunch of nice people who need a bit of coordination! jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

Wondering why different nonsense mutations are corrected with different efficacy? The short answer is: translation velocity determines the suppressor tRNAs efficacy. More details👇🏻in our new publication ⁦⁦⁦Nature Communications⁩.Kudos to the whole team! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Happy to share that our work engineering cellulose-producing bacteria to grow light-induced patterns and make melanin to grow black leather-like materials is now published OA in Nature Biotechnology > Study led by the amazing Marcus Walker Marcus Walker nature.com/articles/s4158…

One of the most impactful people in #synbio right now. Highly recommend what Niko McCarty 🧫 is building at Asimov Press and his writings, musings and general thoughts on biotech and its evolution! Fingers crossed his report goes public at some point.

Worth taking 5 mins to read through this and make suggestions and comments. Could help shape the future of Engineering Biology in the UK!

Amazing! 😍

We are recruiting a PhD-level project scientist for our rapid antibody evolution projects and to coordinate the growth of our efforts in this area. Please apply here: recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF08912

The first Asimov Press book is officially at the printers.

We plan to have copies available for sale at the SynBioBeta conference in San Jose from May 6-9.

Printing is a complex endeavor that I didn't fully appreciate until now. Xander Balwit made it possible.

A preview.👇

Such an exciting intersection to work at and brilliant paper!

Hear from Prof. Tom Ellis of Imperial College London about promising areas of #synbio and learn about his keynote at #SEED2024 in June. bit.ly/499fzMx
