Calling all in London interested in #SyntheticBiology and #EngineeredLivingMaterials! Join us for a seminar organised by London SynBio Network LondonSynbioNetwork at UCL on October 3rd. Register here 👇

Fantastic turnout for the #SynBio Seminar Series with the LondonSynbioNetwork network hosted at UCL! 🎉 Inspiring talks from Koray Malcı on Therapeutic Skin and amazing presentations by the UCL & ICL #iGEM teams 🧬. Great to reconnect with old colleagues and meet new ones!

I have heard all the far right arguments against Islam, I have heard all the theological arguments against Islam and I have heard all the progressive arguments against Islam. But non of the arguments hold up. Islam is the Truth.

Cellulose-producing bacteria are driving sustainable biomaterials and #EngineeredLivingMaterials (ELMs). In our latest review with Tom Ellis, Ivy Li, and Natasha Kisseroudis, we explore the intersection of #SynBio and bacterial cellulose design.👇 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

New work from our group on synthetic genome modules in yeast. ⬇️

The NextSkins team is together in Ghent for our latest project meeting. 2 days of updates and workshops.

Celebrating Fankang Meng 's PhD! 🎉 It’s been amazing to work with him, but sad to say goodbye to such a great person!

🚨 Exciting PhD opportunity alert! 🚨 We’re offering a fully-funded #PhD position in #SynBio, #MetabolicEngineering, and #Bioprocessing at @uclbiochem1 and @leorioslab! 🌿🧪🧬 📍 Project: Yeast CO₂ Recycling & Feedstock Conversion for Carbon-Neutral #bioManufacturing. 🗓️

Have a look at our last research article 🚫No byproducts = 📈higher yields 👇🏼👇🏼 We have created a synthetic microbial community that outperforms monoculture. This is achieve by adding to the process a strain engineered to upcycle byproducts into the product of interest!

It was absolutely a great pleasure to work with Marina on this creative project to develop a novel and functional #biomaterial! We're glad to have had her in our lab! Looking forward to continuing our collaboration to achieve impactful outcomes. #SynBio #BacterialCellulose

Need to design gram-positive bacteria? Our comprehensive genetic toolkit, SubtiToolKit (STK), can be really useful! Check out our study with J.Caro-Astorga and Tom Ellis published in Trends in Biotechnology. STK is coming soon to Addgene! #SynBio #Biotech 👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.tibt…

In just 22 days… I lost 4 kilos. Rafif, my little girl, lost 2.6 kilos. My wife lost 6 kilos. All of this… in just 22 days. Is this justice? Is this what peace looks like? Is it normal to lose weight instead of living in peace? Do we not deserve to live like everyone else?
