We are hiring project scientists, Postdocs and research associates in multiple labs. Please reach out if you are looking for exciting #phage #microbiology #synbio #CRISPR #AMR #evolution #ecology Systems biology & infectious disease biology work. 🙏

RT @AngelGMoreno: 2yr postdoc position #postdocjobs. We are looking for a theoretician (CS, physics, maths) to join our EMMA project at the @CBGP_Madrid. Model and simulate microbes under #evolution and microbe-plant interactions. #synbio #genecircuits. Let me know if you are interested!

APHIS, part of the USDA, gave the green light to Light Bio for its glowing petunia plants:

Seeing a lot of bad takes about why Amyris $AMRS declared bankruptcy, including from other #synbio founders.

"Cosmetics"
"Vertical integration"
"B2B"

No.

Amyris tanked because of bad management making terrible financial decisions.

Also, whether we like to admit it or not, economics still crush most things in #biotech . At least with the current approaches to commercialization.

If a picture says 1,000 words, then what's an interactive data visualization worth?

@soltdb will utilize a combination of data visualization tools to make nerdy biotech concepts and trends in the bioeconomy more approachable and accessible.

Here's a teaser of a stacked bar chart showing how current active programs at Ginkgo Bioworks $DNA have evolved over time. #investing #livingtech #synbio #biotech

Wassup! Paper pile for weekly #Evoluncheons meetup (week 14 Aug 2023).

Some fundamental stuff, some viruses, some systems and synthetic bio with evolutionary implications (specifically, fitness effects of gene regulation).

This is an ad I saw on Reddit. I didn't know Ginkgo Bioworks $DNA spinout Motiff Foodworks and Impossible Foods were sparring over heme.

The ironic part is that Ginkgo Bioworks has been criticized for subjecting foundry customers to suffocating intellectual property claims. Customers often don't own generated IP, but "license" it for a short fixed period.

This is huge for #biotech and #synbio investors.

Beginning in calendar 2024, companies will be required to provide more detailed breakdowns of segments and subsidiaries in financial disclosures.

This is one of the most significant blind spots when evaluating biotech companies. It would be nice to see clearer breakdowns by geography, but investors have to wait longer for that rule change. #stocks #investing

Fully funded* PhD in my group available - start date likely to be Jan 2024 #SynBio #EngBio #PhD The project will combine molecular biology and hydrogels to create 'smart' materials for viral diagnostics. https://www.ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate/fees-funding/search-funding/?code=snes239c

Ginkgo Bioworks $DNA has made 109 regulatory filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dating back to March 15, 2023.

Of those 109 filings, 102 filings announce shares being sold by the founders.

A brilliant and short viewpoint on #SynBio outlining issues with the overhype within the community and the issues of translation of useful tools rather than just making "toys".

What is your prefered term for what we generally call Synthetic Biology? I know a few places are rebranding 🧬 :rna: :protein:

Going to the annual #synbio #synbiobeta event in a few weeks, so see what progress we've collectively made engineering living organisms to do useful things. It's a hard problem with so much potential to be unlocked.
