How does nature build? How do we build? What happens when we begin building life itself? Let your imagination…

Professor Tom Ellis from the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London talks about how his research has helped to engineer biology this century.

From selective breeding to genetic modification, our understanding of biology is now merging with the principles of engineering to bring us synthetic biology.

Written, animated and directed by James Hutson, Bridge8.

Molecular biology research is more complex than ever, and research teams need automated, high-throughput tools for sequence design and workflow management. In this workshop Customer Success Associate Damian Costello and Product Manager Andrew Guo showcase…

Cells are the fundamental "building blocks" that make up living organisms. Yet, we don't know exactly how cells were formed in the first place. We also don't know what all the molecules that make up any natural cell do. Finally, we can't yet put molecules…

Imagine synthetic antibiotics that could fight infections like MRSA, custom pharmaceuticals to treat advanced prostate cancer, and new enzymes that will turn cellulose into fuel. With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), chemist Kent Kirshenbaum…

Genetically engineered viruses are becoming more common as the costs of DNA sequencing and genetic engineering are dropping, what does that mean for us?

Transcriptic's robots run Golden Braid reactions to assembly up to ten genes into a construct.

A tutorial describing how to make new standard parts that are compatible with the Golden Gate ModularCloning (MoClo) Assembly Standard

This lecture talks about the types of PCR. There are about 30-40 different types of PCR employed in Research. The type of PCR chosen would depend on the Template being used (DNA/RNA), how we would like our end product to be measured, the quality of the end…

Synthetic Biology 4.0 Conference

Every cell that's ever lived has been the result of the four-letter genetic alphabet: A, T, C and G -- the basic units of DNA. But now that's changed. In a visionary talk, synthetic biologist Floyd E. Romesberg introduces us to the first living organisms…

These animations show cellular biology on the molecular scale. The structure of chromatin, the processes of transcription, translation, DNA replication, and cell division are shown. All animations are scientifically accurate and derived from molecular biology…

Peptoids are a biomimetic polymer system that are synthesized by robots, and have the potential to one day make completely artificial proteins. Peptoids have many unique properties…

By synchronising our clocks, we can coordinate our activities with people around the world. Now, scientists have engineered bacteria to synchronise their molecular timekeepers, creating the stunning fluorescent waves you see in this video. Hear more about…

Join us for the release of a new report on synthetic biology and the Nagoya Protocol of the United Nations’ Convention on Biological Diversity. The discussion will focus on how the digitization of DNA may change how international treaties address intellectual…
