Congrats to @drksolomon for winning the 2024 Biochemical Engineering Journal Young Investigator Award! Here he delivers his award lecture at the ECI Biochemical & Molecular Engineering XXIII meeting in Dublin.

[UD Center for Translational Synthetic Biology @UDSynBio]

Yesterday at ECI Biochemical Engineering XXIII, Kelvin Lee from @UDChBE and @NIIMBL presented a keynote lecture on community efforts to develop CHO genome resources, applications of that data to biopharma problems, and how communication is critical to science policy change.
