Midterm Evaluation of bioSYNergy concludes: World-Leading 

The international review panel appointed to carry out, among others, the midterm evaluation of our bioSYNergy project finds evidence of world-leading excellence in several parts of the project

Impressive presence in scientific journals highlighted the recent time for SynBio Center. Plentiful of stories on nanotechnology, physical chemistry and plant physiology as well as other significant articles from different areas of plant science reflect the progress in the synthetic biology at the center.  

 

CosmoCrops all over the world

Our awesome iGEM team - CosmoCrops - is on everybody's lips these days
From Denmark to Russia, from China to the US – all over the globe the story is told of the team that wants to bring sustainable bioproduction to space and supply astronauts with 3D printable bioplastic, foodstuff and medicine. What is going on?!

 

Grants awarded

 

Prof. Poul Erik Jensen group awarded VILLUM FONDEN research grant.
The grant is aimed for 5 years and will be covering a project of design and exploration of novel electron transfer pathways.

Ass. prof. Sotirios Kampranis group received a Novo Nordisk Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biotechnology-based synthesis and production research. The fellowship will be covering a project on taxol biosynthesis in yeast.

 

In the media

Bioethical questions
As an emerging technology that uses DNA-modifying techniques, Synthetic Biology raises bioethical questions that must be adressed and asessed continuously. In Ingeniøren, Sune Holm considers some of the ethical implications of using synthetic biology in a series of articles in Ingeniøren.
