Very cool day and lots of fun at the @the_prbb Open day🤩 It was amazing to see that many science-interested people!
TODAY WE REPORT at @NatureBiotech: READ/WRITE tech fueled DNA molecular technologies development. Extremely exciting to see how AI starts to enable to 'SPEAK' the language of life. Enabling the generation of synthetic diversity is a fundamental step for future synthetic evolution

We are proud to announce that our cell-LINE project has been awarded the Innovalora 2025 Grant, worth €50,000. This funding is a massive boost for our work in developing an RNA-only gene writing tool. We believe this platform has immense potential🧬 ✍

More great news! Our team's RNA project has also been awarded a prestigious CaixaImpulse grant!
This funding will help us develop a more efficient and safer RNA gene therapy. Huge thanks to @CaixaResearchCA and the entire team for the incredible work!
🧬 L’ARN pot codificar missatges terapèutics i les tecnologies que els escriuen, però fins ara no eren prou eficients per a la seva aplicació real.
Amb #CaixaImpulse, @marcguellc (@Synbio_Lab_UPF) desenvolupa una tecnologia d’ARN eficient, més segura i fàcil d’administrar.

Trained in immunology and hematology, Néstor did his PhD at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute on T cell engineering for the immunotherapy. He's now working on the development of synthetic viral particles for the targeted cell delivery. Wellcome to the Synbio family!

Amazing day at #KeystoneSymposia! Presented a poster on RNA writing and shared our lab’s @Synbio_Lab_UPF research. Proud of the team’s hard work and excited to push forward in this field! 🧬🔬
Some weeks ago we published a new paper where we program C. acnes to actively protect the skin for therapeutic applications. Check it out at @CellSystemsCP! congrats to the team! 🦠🧏🏻♂️❤️
C. acnes is the most abundant bacterium on human skin. But what if we could make it the smarterst? 🦠✨
In our new @cellsystems study, we programmed C. acnes to actively protect the skin for therapeutic applications! 🛡️

🚀 Great news for our lab! We’ve received a €2.5M EIC Transition Grant to advance #Synflora, an innovative biotech treatment for acne. By engineering skin bacteria to release beneficial molecules, we aim to revolutionize dermatology! 🔬✨
