Standardising the process of information in living systems
Computing can be defined as the process that turns inputs into outputs by following a set of instructions or rules. If we adopt such a
Pathways to cellular supremacy in biocomputing, a perspective
Synthetic biology applies engineering concepts to the rational engineering of living systems, such as bacteria and yeast, yielding new substrates for computation, production, pollution control,
Design and control of extrachromosomal elements in methylorubrum extorquens AM1
Methylorubrum extorquens AM1 is used as a model organism for the study of methylotrophy. It’s unique ability to grow on C1 carbon sources (like methanol or formate) makes it

As part of Work Package 6 of BioRoboost, a workshop to look at technical and policy gaps in the use of and need for standards
Discussing standards at the FEBS 2019 Advanced Lecture Course in Biosystem Design
From the 29th September to the 7th October 2019, the “FEBS 2019 Advanced Lecture Course in Biosystem Design: Computational and Experimental Approaches” took place on Spetses Island
Manufactured life: the scientific and social challenges of synthetic biology
Since biology became secularised and the molecular scrutiny of life began, the possibility of artificially synthesising living cells in a laboratory became a tangible possibility.
