Virtual Meetup: Join our Monthly Biomaker Catch-Ups

,

New monthly virtual meet up for anyone interested in the intersection of biology engineering and computer science.

The SynBio IRC, along with the OpenPlant Biomaker Challenge, are pleased to announce a new series of informal monthly catch-ups to promote discussion of synthetic biology and bioengineering.

The monthly sessions will be held on Zoom, and will be an opportunity for Biomaker teams (and others interested in the intersection of biology, engineering and computing) to drop-in, ‘show-and-tell’, share their progress on bioelectronics projects, discuss ideas and ask questions.

Anyone is welcome to to present their ideas and bio-electronics projects, or just to listen in an hear more about this year's Biomaker teams and their progress.

The meetings will be held at 15:00 (GMT) on the final Tuesday of each month:

For more information see the Cambridge Synthetic Biology Meetup Group, or contact the SynBio IRC coordinator Steph Norwood at coordinator@synbio.cam.ac.uk.

Job opportunity: Fermentation Specialist at Colorifix

Fermentation Specialist at Colorifix:

£42,000 - £50,000 a year - Full-time, Permanent

“We seek to hire a highly motivated and experienced Fermentation Specialist to be part of our Implementation Team, which will play a key role in client onboarding. Specifically, we are working with a number of mills and dye houses (the clients) across Europe that provide services to the international fashion and textile industries. In order to integrate our technology into their existing processes, they need to purchase and set up fermentation equipment at their facilities, or alternatively contract CMOs locally to provide an outsourced fermentation service to them. Given that this is a previously unused technology in this context, the Fermentation Specialist will take the lead in advising management teams of client dye houses and will work in tandem with other specialists from our Implementation Team, whose expertise will be in GM regulation and safety.”
