£1.3m awarded to Warwick and the Crick to define the rules of cell fate
A research team led by David Rand at The University of Warwick and James Briscoe at the Francis Crick Institute have been awarded over £1.3 million from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to establish a rulebook that defines the decision-making processes by which cells determine their fate or ‘type’.
Systems engineering of cell factories almost doubles output and offers a sustainable alternative to producing chemicals from fossil-fuel
Engineers from The University of Warwick’s Integrative Synthetic Biology Centre and Imperial College London’s Department of Bioengineering have unveiled how to engineer microbial ‘cell-factories’ to boost the manufacture of high-value chemicals that are used in everyday products like domestic goods, clothes and food.
