Congratulations again to our 2024 Van Lanen Award winner, Mark Blenner! He is receiving this award in recognition of his years of dedicated & passionate service to BIOT as Long Range Programming Chair, Tech Coordinator, Program Chair, Area Coordinator & Session Chair.

Check out #synbio work from Aida Lopez-Ruiz in the Cathy Fromen group and April Kloxin Group

🚀Onwards and upwards, #Hengineers! UD Engineering moved up to #38 in graduate programs, our highest ranking ever! Our Delaware ChBE program remains #7 in the nation, and all of our other incredible grad programs moved up or stayed level.

Another great paper from a core member of UD Center for Translational Synthetic Biology

Exciting to have Mark Blenner 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🧬 from Univ. of Delaware visiting our Synthetic Biology Centre here today Imperial College London - really looking forward to his talk.

We are excited to have BioMADE announce our ongoing project to make sustainable oils more cost effective. biomade.org/cost-effective…

This Thursday, we had an amazing seminar by Mark Blenner 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🧬 from the University of Delaware on leveraging #synbio for a circular economy. He also shared his lab's impressive work on non-model #yeasts. Thank you, Dr. Blenner, and thanks to all our members for attending!

Postdoc candidates: If you're interested in designing symbioses that redefine the phrase "synthetic ecology", & if you don't mind donning formal wear once a year, then apply for a position in our group! (1/2)

Anthony Stohr and Ross Klauer present their posters at the ECI Biochemical Engineering meeting in Dublin.

Yesterday at ECI Biochemical Engineering XXIII, Kelvin Lee from Delaware ChBE and NIIMBL presented a keynote lecture on community efforts to develop CHO genome resources, applications of that data to biopharma problems, and how communication is critical to science policy change.

Congrats to Kevin Solomon (drksolomon.bsky.social) for winning the 2024 Biochemical Engineering Journal Young Investigator Award! Here he delivers his award lecture at the ECI Biochemical & Molecular Engineering XXIII meeting in Dublin.

Outstanding news for Center members Kevin Solomon (drksolomon.bsky.social), Wilfred Chen, and Terry Papoutsakis, who are participating in an ERC to upgrade electrochemically fixed co2 to higher value products. UD Engineering Delaware ChBE
