Currently on my PhD journey at the University of Cambridge. Synthetic Biologist in the Chin Lab at MRC LMB. Previously at ETH Zürich and Harvard University.

So much hard work, and so much love for everyone who was involved!

Escherichia coli with a 57-codon genetic code
The near-universal genetic code of living organisms uses 64 codons to encode the 20 canonical amino acids in protein synthesis. Here we design and generate a variant of Escherichia coli with a 4 Mb sy...
