Amazing visualisations from Nitzan Shabek 😍

CRISPR editing predictability influenced by nucleotides surrounding PAM sites!

Maybe i am retweeting this because of my long lasting interest and deep understanding of mouse enbryology, or MAYBE because Jonathan Griffiths is my fantastic flatmate 🔥 go check out his new paper and ask him, as i am doing, whether they actually found something new 😈

Check out our new paper about connective auxin transport, very happy to be part of this! 💪🏻💪🏻

My team at Gardin Agritech is growing (pun intended) - This is a great opportunity to join us really early on and work in a collaborative environment where you will apply your biology knowledge whilst learning about software, hardware, computer vision and machine learning!

Have fun people

To anyone in my network who might be interested - one week left to submit your concept papers (short proposals) for our Synthetic Plants Programme. See below for more info - we look forward to reading your submissions!

A reminder to all my friends in plant science and synbio that the deadline for short proposals for our programme on synthetic plants is tomorrow at noon. Over £62m to develop synthetic genomic units in agronomical crops. All are welcome to apply here: aria.org.uk/synthetic-plan…

Call for full proposals for our programme on synthetic chromosomes and chloroplast is officially out. I want to stress to everyone in my network that this is open to all, whether they submitted an expression of interest or not! Super excited about this - see details in thread:

Jens Nielsen’s interesting keynote on the differences between innovating and getting funding in pharma vs synbio - Great summary of how the University model has evolved from education to innovation and fantasist work from BioInnovation Institute #symbitech

We are about to launch a new call for funding in plant EngBio - see post below for more info and sign up for updates to be notified when the call officially goes live. Up to 500K per project! Reach out if you would like to know more, happy to chat :)

Our call for opportunity seeds in plant Engbio is out! We want to hear from anyone, irrespective of which stage of your career you are at. if you have an ambitious and unusual idea that does not fit with other funding mechanisms please check the call below. apply by 9 April!

See below for an exciting call for FROs in the UK - Convergent are working with ARIA to deliver this super cool initiative and they are actively lookig for ideas in the plant space!
