Lucky to have such a supportive industry body in the BioIndustry Association (BIA). I would highly recommend reading #BIAFinanceReport: biotechfinance.org We continue to have very positive funding discussions, very excited to see what 2023 brings.

Constructive discussions had with the P&SC on the opportunity for the UK to be a leader in #synbio of human health. Great to share bit.bio’s story as we work to ensure synbio is at the centre of the UK’s #ScienceSuperpower ambitions. Many thanks to Stephen Metcalfe for chairing.

After speaking with the UK's P&SC last month alongside influential members of the #Synbio sector. I have developed this blog outlining my recommendations for how the UK could grow to becomes a powerhouse of #science & #innovation in #syntheticbiology. mark-kotter.medium.com/synthetic-biol…

Groundbreaking technology demonstrating restoration of an amputated peripheral nerve via integration of bit.bio ioMyocytes in a biohybrid bioelectric device. Congratulations Damiano G. Barone and George Malliaras! shorturl.at/bemIN

Cellular identity - what makes a cell a particular cell type. To me one of biology’s most fascinating mysteries. Here’s some data concerning astrocytes - a mystery cell type in the human brain. Kudos to the team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

I can’t wait to see everyone in Oakland in 19 days for SynBioBeta! We’re taking on human health in a big way - with lots of great talks and partnering activity to look forward to. It is one of my favorite community meetings of the year.

BIG NEWS! We launched our new Custom ioDisease Model Cell offering! Scientists can order their mutation of choice to be genetically engineered in our consistent and defined opti-ox™️ powered human iPSC-derived cells. hubs.ly/Q01Q-Jgq0 #research #DrugDiscovery #iPSC

Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte’s presentation on anti-aging technology drew a dangerously large crowd at a stem cell conference in Boston. trib.al/XX1cSSS

📣 Feature! David Levine writes about the promise of programmed #stemcells for #regenerativemedicine in proto.life. Covering the data we presented ISSCR + what leading researchers think is possible with our opti-ox tech. hubs.ly/Q01VMf_l0 #CellTherapy #drugdiscovery

Congratulations Nataly on the publication of you paper on #astrocyte networks! It suggest that astrocytes form a parallel mechanism of signal transmission in the brain that is separate from the neuronal connectome. I still have to digest the implications! rb.gy/jhleg

Excited to share that bit.bio has entered a collaboration with BlueRock Therapeutics. We code human cells for novel cures, and in this partnership we will be creating regulatory T cells for use as therapies for complex autoimmune conditions. Find out more: bit.bio/news/bluerock-…

Excited to announce the launch of clock.bio and welcome Markus Gstöttner as its CEO. Thanks Ryan Cross at endpts for covering our story! rb.gy/75l2j.

The more I think about the OpenAi mess, it is clearly one of the (probably The) greatest and most impactful corporate fuck-ups of the last 100 years and certainly the greatest fuck-up in not-for-profit history.

NEWS! As Department for Science, Innovation and Technology launch their £2 billion Vision for #EngineeringBiology, we hosted the Science Minister to officially open our new manufacturing and automation labs. Minister Andrew Griffith MP toured our facilities + heard about our #cellprogramming tech: hubs.ly/Q02b_1T40

Minister Andrew Griffith MP, thank you for shining a light on bit.bio

Biotech and TechBio

Exciting! This is the way…
