EEBio Programme Grant, funded by EPSRC (EP/Y014073/1). eebio.web.ox.ac.uk. Engineering Biology and Control Engineering - making self-adapting biosystems
NEW: In a world first, researchers from Oxford’s Department of Engineering Science have engineered quantum behaviour inside proteins.
The breakthrough could lead to new medical technologies, including tracking genes and molecules inside living cells.

Interested in a DPhil (PhD) in feedback control and Engineering Biology? There's one at the Dept of Engineering Science, Oxford, aligned with the EEBio Programme grant (eebio.ac.uk). #synbio. Deadline 12pm, 2nd Dec 2025. tinyurl.com/6ck48dux
Preprint alert! 🗞
We used SynBio to "simplify" the plant oxygen sensing pathway and implement it in yeast🍄.
We can now control yeast growth through oxygen!
But most importantly,
Here's a very short recap of what we understood thanks to it:
