SynBioResearch
We take on collaborative and commercially partnered projects, end to end — bringing AI-guided design and the wet lab to find solutions to problems that matter.
Whether you bring funding or a shared ambition, the work starts from a concrete problem with a clear path to impact.
Either way, we bring the platform and labs to bear on the problem — we only ask for a clear path to real-world impact. See the engagement models for how a project is structured and resourced.
Long-running programmes run with a partner — a dedicated Centre of Excellence or sponsored lab, with embedded scientists.
A joint programme with CrisprBits building strain-engineering capability — from design through translation — with a scientist embedded at the Hub.
A MiniMines-sponsored lab applying microbial and strain engineering to sustainable resource recovery — toward lower-energy, more circular materials supply chains.
A sample of the specific applied problems our research group is taking on right now.
Engineering acidophilic microbes to bioleach and recover valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries — a low-energy route to circular battery supply chains.
Engineered microbial routes to treat and valorize chemical-waste streams — converting hard-to-treat effluents into lower-hazard outputs and recovered value.
Protein language models and directed-evolution methods that propose improved enzyme variants, narrowing large sequence spaces to a testable shortlist.
AI-guided design to develop safe cyclic peptides that target the drivers of cancer metastasis.
