Join us for an enjoyable SBA Sydney event! I know I'll be there...

A final reminder to join us on Thursday! Join us to discover how technology is changing the way we think about food, with two fantastic speakers. Free food you say? Some say that’s… Impossible! eventbrite.com.au/e/sba-sydney-p…

Some fantastic talks from @iloughland (@allgfoods ) and Jeroen Boersma (Vow ) at our SBA Sydney Node event! We caught a glimpse into the future of technology and food (and consumed a huge quantity of pizza in the process...)

Really cool stuff!

Excited to announce our upcoming seminar with Dr. Rob Brown from Eden Brew and Prof. Jolieke van der Pols from QUT! Discover how synthetic biology and precision fermentation are revolutionising bio-based production and food ingredients Register here: shorturl.at/NRcoa

Congrats Sonja Billerbeck and Rianne Prins!!

Never even liked tennis anyway.

Bitter-sweet result. Our paper is out in Nature, but sometimes you're forced to hide your affiliation to make it happen. Viruses encode tRNAs to circumvent tRNA-targeting immune systems, like PARIS. Thanks to David Bikard, Wiedenheft Lab and the teams. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Stay tuned for the next one!

A new Professorship is available at the University of Heidelberg. The focus is on various aspects of Synthetic Biology and Synthetic Genomics.

Out now from Alicia Maciá Valero ! We consolidated a >600 Dutch yeast and characterised their activity against spoilage yeasts and relevant human and plant pathogens, focusing on yeasts that secrete antifungal proteins. Great resource for biocontrol and beyond. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39875071/

I/We have a fully funded international PhD scholarship in sunny Sydney that’s just come online! This is part of an exciting collaboration between the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology and the Dementia Research Centre. More information here: mq.edu.au/research/phd-a…

P.S. I'm winding down my Twitter account for Bluer Skies, but will still post the occasional message

Time flies! We’re currently looking for a new talented volunteer to lead the Sydney Node of SBA. If you’re interested in gaining some leadership experience, running a team and organising some fun events, please let me know by mid-August
