AI has been on a rush during the last years, changing science in the process. Our next session “AI and synthetic biology”🤖 is opened by @t_vornholt from @UniBasel! During his talk, we learned how AI can be used to engineer and optimize enzymes with de-novo functions⚙️!
The #GCSB2024 is officially opened🎉! We are looking forward to the next three days, filled to the brim with #SynBio! Lets advance Synthetic Biology together!
ML and automation can take protein engineering to a whole new level. In a really exciting collaboration, we have explored new strategies to navigate large sequence-activity landscapes in an efficient yet thorough manner. https://t.co/8mQ9lby3ei
📣 Good news!
As negotiations between the 🇪🇺 EU and 🇨🇭 Switzerland have been officially launched today, researchers based in Switzerland can now once again apply for ERC grants.

GASB stands with this initiative and our fellow scientists! We also call for MEPs to listen to the voice of science and vote in favor of sustainability, resilience, and security for European agriculture🌱! #NGTs#GiveGenesAChance
#newyearnewme (it's not to late to say that at the end of January, right?)! It's time to make it official, a few weeks ago, we have elected a new Steering Committee for 2024🎉! We are up and running, already preparing the first surprises of the year, so stay tuned for more👀!
