Dr Richard Milne, Head of Research and Dialogue at Wellcome Connecting Science, shares with us his thoughts on engineering biology and the importance of engaging the public in meaningful conversations, undertaking two-way dialogues and building trust in technology.

Want to share the possibilities of cell-free biology or inspire the next generation of cell scientists? We’re looking for volunteers to help deliver two exciting events at the year’s Cambridge Festival.

The sustainable transformation of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry requires greener manufacturing. The use of enzymes as catalysts offers a promising route to less waste generation and lower energy consumption. However, such biocatalysts often require challenging engineering, where the combination of droplet microfluidics, deep sequencing and AI can make a difference.

Hear from Climate SynBio Society members Gabrielle Admans and Friederike Nintzel about the Cambridge society dedicated to exploring synthetic biology solutions to climate change.
