Shanghai Jiao Tong University has an entire five-story building solely for teaching labs.

Undergraduate students can take hands-on courses in protein design, fermentation, gene-editing, and much more.

I haven't seen programs of a comparable scale for undergrads in the U.S.

Phenotypic diversity and genetic instability in Streptomyces coelicolor. Attention! This is not contamination. Phenotypic alterations are due to genetic changes.#todaysactinobacteriota

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

At a @NobelPrize event in 2019 Ada Yonath sounded an alarm on a global challenge.

"I cannot predict the future. But I think a 10-15 fold increase in deaths due to infectious diseases is realistic if we do not find new antibiotics."
