How can we make #syntheticbiology more impactful, appealing & easier to understand? The answer is: through #bioart. Read about the artists who use biology as their inspiration & medium to disseminate #synbio ideas:

Returning from #SynBioBeta2024, I'm sharing my thoughts about the cultural archetypes emerging in the #synbio community. Follow along for an explorative deep dive into the collective unconscious of the #biotech industry:

Excited for #SynBioBeta2024 next week! If you want to be part of creating the culture and the future of synthetic biology, join me. Let's connect!

Biomimetic design takes inspiration from nature to improve the functionality of man-made #materials and structures. Learn how #biomimicry could make our buildings more sustainable: #design #architecture #sustainability #biodesign

The discovery of #antibiotivs was one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. But today we are again vulnerable to bacterial infections due to the rise of #antibioticresistance. Read about the potential #biotech solutions for this urgent crisis:

And @biomilq takes it one step further with the proposal to grow mammary cells to produce human milk in #cellculture. 🍼 Read about the latest #biotech developments in #babyformula and #breastmilk substitutes:

As a scientist, I love #gaudí 's bio-inspired architecture. Beyond natural shapes, we can take inspiration from biology to develop #sustainable building materials such as mycelium bricks or #biocement by @Biomason. Read about #synbio in construction:

The best thing about living in our times is that our wildest #synbio ideas turn into reality in a matter of years. Case in point: You can now order bioluminescent petunias from @lightbio! Learn more about the ways #bioluminescence is used in #biotech:
