𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬! 👀 For the past two months, our first-year students have been immersed in the course "Advanced Biotechnology and Intellectual Property Rights". This pioneering program offers a thorough grasp of biotechnological progress while highlighting the critical importance of intellectual property protection. Understanding the connection between scientific innovation and intellectual property rights is essential for respecting the legal framework that governs new developments. A significant benefit of this course is the opportunity to tackle real-world challenges. During the first week, students were introduced to various biotechnological issues presented by companies and research groups at the university. These challenges set the stage for their work throughout the course. This year's cases were generously provided by research groups led by Barbara Ann Halkier, Hanne Frøkiær, and Anja Thoe Fuglsang at Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen, as well as Alixander Perzon from CELLUGY®. They offered compelling scenarios, such as developing improved rapeseed crops or unleashing the potential of biofabricated cellulose. Throughout the project, students are tasked not only with devising innovative scientific solutions but also with analyzing the patent landscape to assess potential limitations on their freedom to operate. As the course draws to a close, students will present their findings and conclusions to their case providers this week. This presentation will mark the culmination of their hard work, showcasing their ability to integrate biotechnology with intellectual property strategy in solving real-world problems! #CBSBio #IntellectualProperty #Innovation

In the realm of scientific research, understanding the intricate mechanisms of life requires a closer look at native proteins derived from both human and animal sources. 🌱🐾 Native human and animal proteins serve as invaluable tools for researchers, enabling them to delve into the intricacies of biological processes and gain a deeper understanding of various diseases. By studying these proteins in their natural forms, scientists can explore their functions, interactions, and potential dysregulations that cause health conditions. In laboratories around the world, scientists rely on the identification, extraction, and purification of specific native proteins to conduct experiments and studies. Our job is to provide consistency in the quality of proteins needed to ensure high-quality research continues around the world. 🌏 Want to learn more about our lab? https://loom.ly/f-Xz9WE

The mission of Puroc is to add net value to the earth it operates on and the society it is part of, rather than take from it. This is an excellent example of how we want to achieve that. By setting up a research program investigating the added value of a bio based molecule over a crude oil based molecule, we added another step to the transition from crude oil to bio-based. At the same time, it offered an excellent platform for a large number of young students to be trained in the art of research and discover that bio-based can actually have technical advantages over crude oil based products. If you need help with your bio-based or circular chemistry, just knock on our door. #cocreation #sustainable #chemistry Marc Spekreijse

🏁 After five years of dedicated #research and collaboration, the project CLASSY has come to a successful closure. This ambitious project, funded by the #EuropeanUnion, aimed to explore the potential of chemical systems and networks in various fields of research. We at accelopment have been part of this dedicated consortium under the coordination of Prof. Andrés de la Escosura from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain. ✅ The project made significant advances in the understanding of the self-organisation of multi-component synthetic systems, leading to groundbreaking research on the efficiency of enzymes in the presence of peptide catalysts. The success of #CLASSY has also sparked new initiatives and partnerships - several new #HorizonEurope funded projects, such as CORENET, DarChemDN, and MiniLife. 📣 The final Scientific Symposium event, held virtually in March 2024, was a major milestone for the project. Attended by over 50 participants from 42 organisations, the event showcased the latest findings and developments from CLASSY. It also served as a platform to disseminate the outcomes of the project to a wider audience and foster collaborations with external experts in #catalysis and compartmentalisation strategies in systems #chemistry.

Great to see this celebration of impact from UK Research and Innovation investments into the UK's #engineeringbiology landscape! 👏 https://okt.to/SKXIMt #Engineeringbiology has been identified as a critical growth technology for the UK and should be a key component of the Government’s Modern Industrial Strategy. The Earlham Institute hosts the Earlham Biofoundry - a BBSRC-funded National Bioscience Research Infrastructure providing #engbio expertise and automation platforms to the bioscience community. It is home to experts in synthetic biology approaches, large-scale experiment design, and automation programming. The team has worked with academics across the Norwich Research Park as well as start-ups and biotech companies, offering a suite of cutting-edge equipment - out of the financial scope of most individual research labs. “We specialise in the rapid design, construction, and testing of biological systems while also offering access to automated platforms and workflows.” “In partnership with biotechnology companies, we've engineered microorganisms to produce sustainable dyes for the textile industry, and used precision fermentation to produce an alternative to palm oil, the most widely consumed vegetable oil on the planet." - Dr Carolina Grandellis, Head of the Earlham #Biofoundry. The UK's Biofoundries will be critical for realising the potential impact of this field. Earlier this year Dr Grandellis gave evidence to the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee on the potential of engineering biology to tackle urgent global challenges, and the role of the UK's Biofoundries in driving this. https://okt.to/5f3UGT
