We are so grateful to our industry partners for their collaboration and support, our work wouldn’t be possible without you! Thank you to @TwistBioscience @Ginkgo @opentrons @thermofisher @nuclera @WatersCorp for being such amazing partners over the years!
Last year we initiated a network-wide research project on "Artificial Neural Networks" in cells, where students designed novel genetic circuits to imbue neural network behavior in mammalian cells. We will work on more global projects together this year!
Apply to join us and "grow (almost) anything" today!!!
