14 Aug 2023: Biology will never be the same. The remarkable scientific success of biology in describing, explaining, and manipulating natural systems is so well recognized as to be a cliche—but the engineering application of that scientific knowledge is just

14 Aug 2023: Microscopy of GFP-expressing plant tissues. The major advantage of GFP is that it is intrinsically fluorescent, and the protein is be directly visible in living tissues where it is being expressed. There are many benefits to working with live samples

14 Aug 2023: Cambridge team for the iGEM2012 Synthetic Biology competition. Cambridge iGEM2012 team project. iGEM teams have characterised an array of biosensor components, but outputs are often inconsistent and, despite common assembly standards, it remains

14 Aug 2023: Macrophotography in the field. The documentation of liverworts in the field, growth room or laboratory can be a challenge. The small size of the plants means that plant features may need to be captured at sub-millimetre, almost cellular scales.

14 Aug 2023: The student team. Each year we recruit 6-12 undergraduate students to participate in the iGEM competition. The students work as an interdisciplinary team to construct an engineered biological system from DNA components, including design and

14 Aug 2023: Plant and microbial microscopy and visualisation. The last twenty years have seen a revolution in the application of optical techniques to the study of biological systems. This largely due to the development of highly specific fluorescent labelling
