We talk to Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro, PhD about how a new centre he is leading at Imperial College London will advance the growing field of alternative protein science and train the next generation of researchers. The Bezos Centre for Sustainable Proteins will harness engineering biology – a 21st-century technology that has been used to create mRNA Covid vaccines –to overcome the bottlenecks preventing the commercialisation of plant-based, cultivated meat and fermentation-made foods. Rodrigo explains the centre will boost academically-led open access science, enable greater collaboration between a wide range of scientists and engineers, and help build the UK's research ecosystem. #plantbasedmeat #cultivatedmeat #precisionfermentation #research #imperialcollegelondon #alternativeproteins https://lnkd.in/gYR7jD5x

Growing Scotland’s bioeconomy | raising awareness of biotechnology applications | connecting people and resources | supporting net zero innovation
This promises to be an insightful and inspiring session. Great line up of panellists! Conference registration details below. See you there… #biotechnology #bioeconomy #resourceefficiency #transformation #innovation #potatoindustry
Dr Andy Gill is an experienced researcher with a portfolio career spanning (bio-)chemical analysis, animal bioscience, host-pathogen interactions, proteomics & metabolomics and materials characterization. Andy has been a lead academic at BBSRC-sponsored research institutes, two different universities and currently leads the business operations of B-hive Innovations Ltd , including directing the research efforts of the company. One of B-hive’s successful research projects, funded by Innovate UK, involved developing and scaling methods to extract food-grade protein from waste potatoes, a method that is now exploited commercially by the UK’s premier fresh potato producer, Branston Ltd, and spin-out company RootExtracts. Andy will be speaking at Waste to Wealth, when life gives you tatties... on Day 1 of #IBioIC24. In this Zero Waste Scotland sponsored session, we will consider the use of biotechnology to transform by-products from food production and processing into high value products. Registration is open now: https://lnkd.in/gFktTKHa

What we are reading... Market research predicts that the synthetic biology market could skyrocket from $10 billion in 2021 to as much as $100 billion by 2030. In recent years, scientists have made incredible advancements in this field, including creating living organisms with entirely human-made DNA and developing synthetic organisms for potential "living therapeutics." Synthetic biology has the potential to revolutionize industries like medicine, agriculture, manufacturing, and the environment. For example, by altering the genetic material of organisms, we can create super strong, ultra-lightweight silk by integrating spider DNA into silkworms. While the benefits of synthetic biology are immense, there are also challenges to address - such as the potential misuse of the technology for bioweapons. It's crucial that we continue to explore the possibilities of synthetic biology responsibly. Click the link below to learn more about the incredible benefits and challenges of synthetic biology.

Synthetic biology enabled COVID vaccines and can help with all sorts of other challenges today. This article is an accessible introduction to the opportunities by Andrew Hessell, who co-authored “The Genesis Machine”. Read the intro, (read the book!) and let us know at clientservice@walterscott.com if you’d like to discuss the investment implications. I understand it is a hot topic at the #SACRS Fall Conference this week. #investing #syntheticbiology
For investment professionals only Many have declared that molecules are the new microchip. But what does that mean and can synthetic biology address issues from climate change to chronic disease and food scarcity? At our Research Conference, Andrew Hessel helped us understand the potential as well as the risks that might come from developments in this field.

Transformative Marketing Leader Driving Revenue Growth, Innovation, and High-Performance Teams through Digital Marketing
The current state of scientific research, particularly in #biotechnology , reflects a troubling shift. What was once a collaborative field aimed at advancing human well-being is now overshadowed by greed and monopolistic practices. The realm of Spatial Biology, in particular, has become so entangled in litigation that it deters new companies from entering the market. Moreover, under the guise of innovation, the situation has escalated to where companies are being cornered. Zoom into the image to get a closer look at the underlying issues plaguing the industry's competitive practices https://lnkd.in/gXZebjU7 #MonopolyInScience #InnovationNotLitigation

As it is apprehended from basic biology that all members of Kingdom Animalia are heterotrophic, I strongly recommend that this should be included as one of the major causes of global hunger though to some seems lack sense .in order to adress this challenge, I had an idea that we can find ways in which we can be autotrophic. Yes, you've never thought of such that's why it seems impossible but as a biomedical scientist I speculate it as possible but don't enquire how. I just need your insights to bring off this.
