Delighted to announce that we are one of 14 ARIA Seed Creators in the Programmable Plants space!

We're engineering bacteria as smart conduits between the plant & environment, reprogramming crops in the field, to respond appropriately to moderate stress.

New preprint out today: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

In it we tackle making our favourite plant-growth promoting bacterium engineerable, with lots of useful genetic tools #synbio #syntheticbiology #engineeringbiology
A genetic toolbox for the high-resolution engineering of the plant growth-promoting agricultural bacterium Azospirillum brasilense.
Azospirillum brasilense is an important plant-growth promoting bacterium found in the rhizosphere and used extensively in commercial agriculture. It is an attractive candidate for use in the developme...

Hi all, I have a fully-funded, four-year PhD studentship opportunity in my group: www.findaphd.com/phds/project.... This is Synthetic Biology first and foremost, looking at replacing oil-derived diols, which are really important industrial monomers used in thousands of the objects we use every day.
