We are delighted to announce that Eleanor Jameson and Emanuel de los Santos have been awarded WISB Research Career Development Fellowships. Together with Byron Carpenter and Lauren Swiney, this means that we now have four Fellows in the Centre. The remaining RCDF post will be advertised shortly.
Synthetic Biology is increasingly used to implement novel applications in which designer organisms perform complex tasks not easily amenable to traditional engineering methods, such as cancer detection, fuel generation, drug production, and recently even the re-creation of extinct species. From a more fundamental perspective, synthetic biology can also be used to probe the limits and … Continue reading Look out for: Biological Insights from Synthetic Biology, a special issue of the RSC journal Integrative Biology 4 (2016) 371-578
WISB has already invested RC-UK funding to build an interdisciplinary community of more than 50 synthetic biology researchers in Warwick. In the second phase of our strategy we will expand synthetic biology support to include an even bigger community. Applications are invited from University of Warwick researchers, who are not already members of WISB, for small grants (up to £5000) to help kick-start … Continue reading WISB Small SynBio Grants

The arrival of two new widefield fluorescence microscopes heralds the launch of the WISB microscopy suite. The further addition of a spinning disk confocal laser microscope later this month will complete the suite and means that our researchers can undertake live cell imaging and time-lapse microscopy.
Speakers at the Barcelona conference on Synthetic Biology, From Standard Biological Parts to Artificial Life. This took place at the International Centre for Scientific Debate (CaixaForum) in Barcelona, September 17-18 2015, and was supported by the “la Caixa” Foundation. Four members of WISB (McCarthy, Jaramillo, Bates, Asally) took part in this international conference, which also … Continue reading Synthetic Biology, From Standard Biological Parts to Artificial Life
The SynBioCDT draws upon the breadth and depth of multidisciplinary expertise within the research environment at the Universities of Oxford, Bristol and Warwick to offer comprehensive training in the design and engineering of biologically based parts, devices and systems as well as the re-design of existing, natural biological systems across all scales from molecules to … Continue reading Applications Accepted for Synthetic Biology Ph.D. Positions 2016-2020
The past few months have seen significant changes to the WISB laboratories. Dr Sarah Bennett, WISB Facilities Manager, has overseen the purchase and installation of several state-of-the-art equipment including cell sorter, Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and Surface Plasmon Resonance instruments. This provides a fantastic opportunity for WISB Academics and Post-Doctoral researchers to develop both their research … Continue reading Development of WISB Technology Platforms
