📢In our new paper @NAR_Open we take a fresh look at #ai and #machinelearning models of protein expression in #synbio
Take home:
In the age of ultra-large biological model and data, mechanisms still matter and can improve predictivity.

Take a look inside the lab where @Dr_StephenW team have engineered bacteria to eat fatbergs and turn them into fragrance🦠🧪
The fast-moving field of bioengineering is being hailed as the new industrial revolution
Great coverage by @STVNews

Wonderful to see our upcoming work highlighted by the recent UK House of Lords report on #EngineeringBiology and to work with @EdinburghUni, @SBSatEd, @STVNews & @BBCNews to promote what can be achieved in this emerging field. Remember: waste is carbon, and therefore a resource.
