Secondly, the programme has supported a focus on scientific excellence, which enabled us to release our study on the manufacturing of Velban from our engineered yeast cell factories as a proof-of- concept documenting Biomia’s biosynthesis platform. This has been instrumental for us to critically assess where to play.

Synthetic Origins

Codon

A gene encoding green fluorescent protein was placed alongside one of the three promoters, and as the engineered cells cycled from one gene to the next, they blinked between green—dark—green—dark. These papers became the standard-bearers for a new scientific field: synthetic biology.
