And of course there will be loads of time for catching up with (and meeting new) friends and colleagues!

We are also lucky enough to host a panel session on the Policy and Innovation Landscape with incredible R&D thought leaders and policy experts.

For Early Career attendees, we have a careers panel session with academics and industry scientists covering a diversity of backgrounds and career paths.

We have an amazing selection of invited speakers - Karen Polizzi, Brenda Parker, Andreas Walther, Lucia Marucci, John Heap, Sarah Guiziou, Dongsoo Yang, Scott Allen, Dana Heldt, and Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro, PhD

#synbio folks, come and join us for the 10th annual Biochemical Society Synthetic Biology UK conference in London this November.

www.eventsforce.net/biochemsoc/f...

Do you know how they get past the no-mans land between 50um diffusion limit and the 300um size threshold?

Join us in London (12-13 November) for the 10th anniversary of SynBio UK, the premier conference for synthetic and engineering biology.

Organised this year by @biochemsoc.bsky.social and colleagues at @ucl.ac.uk.

There is a shameful tradition of demonising disabled people. Why is Labour reigniting it? | Frances Ryan Ministers run away from a wealth tax and then concoct a punitive benefits system. They have made that choice and it’s immoral, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

This is a really crushing piece on the way in which disability is vilified and the government perspective that productive work is the only thing of moral value

Looking for a #PhD that is at the intersection of #biodesign, #synbio, #openendedness, #evolution? Look no further. Great supervisory team too 😉

UCL – University College London UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

My department @ucl-cdb.bsky.social, is looking to hire a lecturer (assistant prof equivalent) in computational cell biology

www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

I got reviewer comments back for a big grant today. Is "in E. Coli" going to be the new "in mice" for synthetic biology work?

I should say it's a fair comment for my synthetic community work, but this proposal is already so extensive that to then say we'll include more species feels crazy

NERC funded PhD project with Tom Fayle and myself to study the impacts of anthropogenic change on ecosystems using synthetic microbial communities and agent based modelling

Could you add me too please? Thank you

What I should have done if I was a good supervisor is advertise the posters that Alice, Casey, and Louie brought to #sbuk24

However, I got lots of lovely comments from folks who had chatted to my group #proudPI

Reflecting on the two days of #sbuk24 talks on the very slow journey home, I think my favourite was Scott Stacey from Harrison Steel's group.

Lovely demonstration of complexity built from simple biology that needs modelling to fully understand an unexpected result

Still a few spots left in the Mammalian Synthetic Biology starter pack!🧪

To close the conference, Jason Chin walks us through reprogramming the genetic code to allow the bioproduction of non-canonical polymers #sbuk24

Leopold Parts is scrambling the genome to help understand arrangement, essentiality and function #sbuk24

Lovely presentation!

Andrey Romanyuk has rationally designed proteins capable of forming biocondensates that can fuse to other proteins of interest using a dumbbell structure #sbuk24

Georgie Hau Sorensen introduces a tool for inserting dogtags into proteins to allow more control over binding of accessory proteins e.g. deaminase bound to polymerase #sbuk24

The final session is on protein and genome design, starting with Dek Woolfson. How can we go from some basic chemical understanding of amino acid interactions to build new to nature proteins? #sbuk24

Beneficial Bio - Affordable Research | Accelerating Impact Beneficial Bio is a network of social enterprises run by biologists. We help labs around the world undertake affordable research and accelerate their impact on society. ORDER NOW at a cheap price and ...

Rita Dias from beneficial.bio is trying to overcome the reliance on imported reagents and other issues hindering the SynBio space in East Africa. I really want to take the enzyme manufacturing masterclass! #sbuk24

The next session is on responsible research and innovation. Sana Zakaria opens the session by discussing the importance of adequately assessing risk for development of proportionate responses #sbuk24

Ella Thornton is improving proteases using cell free and active learning directed evolution #sbuk24

Yuxin Shen shows the importance of feature representation for sequence-to-expression prediction #sbuk24

Diego Oyarzun starts the AI/ML session by showing that it's possible to apply ML to SynBio with small data sets #sbuk24

Valeriia Kravchik engineered probiotics to produce butyrate to alleviate chrones disease controlled with an incoherent feed forward circuit #sbuk24

Scott Stacey uses sponge RNAs to control synthetic circuits but finds some unexpected resource competition #sbuk24
