🔦 In a study published in Advanced Science, researchers Fredrik Ek, Roger Olsson et al. describe how they can use light to create electrically conductive materials directly in the body, showing promising results in animal trials. "This has not been shown before for electrodes formed directly in tissues", says Fredrik Ek, researcher in chemical biology and drug development at Lunds universitet.

This summit is a collaborative initiative, bringing together academic and industry leaders from the UK and Switzerland to explore cutting-edge developments in synthetic and engineering biology. During the session on Bioprocessing and Scale-Up, Frank and fellow experts delved into critical topics, including: 🔹 How rapid advancements in synthetic and engineering biology are expanding the possibilities of bioprocess technologies in the healthcare space. 🔹 Current challenges in bioprocessing concerning new modalities and the complexities of reproducibility and standards/metrology. 🔹 Scale-up challenges from an investment perspective. 🔹 Educating and collaborating with relevant communities, including academics, to address knowledge and skills gaps in bioprocessing and scale-up. We are thrilled to contribute to these important discussions and look forward to continuing our efforts in bridging the gap between research and development in the life sciences.

How can we make bioeconomy thrive with the power of global collaboration in this new era? “China has the most efficient supply chains and one of the largest market. You can't miss it.” Quote from Haotian Guo Ailurus’ CEO, “But it is becoming harder and harder for companies (especially startups) to operate in multiple countries today.” Ailurus has a mission to advance and democratize biological technology. Since day one in 2021, we have an international team colleagues in 7 different time zones at most. We have actively participated in building bioeconomy in China, and have learnt a lot about its ecosystem, and market landscape. In 2021, we even organized the first “unconference” #Synbiopunk in Shanghai. Please join this webinar with SynBioBeta hosted by John Cumbers to learn more about the syn bio industry in China, where Haotian Guo will share some of his experiences, together with Rui Ma from FreeS Fund 峰瑞资本 , Chantal Shen from BGI Group , and Bruce Li from TJX Bioengineering ! #syntheticbiology #synbio #bioeconomy #china #worldeconomy #globalization

Congrats to Asst. Prof. Yuan Li from the Department of #Chemistry for winning the Young Scientist Award at the iCANX Davos Science Summit! His work focuses on the phenomenon and mechanism of charge transport in molecular junctions. #InnovativeTsinghua
