Programmable Cynanobacteria
Develop high-throughput experiments to create the genetic toolkits needed to reprogram environmentally important microbes.
AI for Engineering Biology
Accelerate reliable cellular reprogramming by learning from diverse experimental data sets.
Improved Cyber-Bio Security
Enable the traceability of engineered cells in natural environments to ensure trustworthiness.
Biological Standards & Metrology
Demonstrate the power of rigorous applications of standards and metrology for biological engineering.
Community Building
Establish the teams and connect to the people able to ensure the long-term benefits of this research are realised.
