TODAY WE REPORT at @NatureBiotech: READ/WRITE tech fueled DNA molecular technologies development. Extremely exciting to see how AI starts to enable to 'SPEAK' the language of life. Enabling the generation of synthetic diversity is a fundamental step for future synthetic evolution

Very happy to report today bioprospecting and AI-generation of high performance gene writers @NatureBiotech @Synbio_Lab_UPF @Integra_Tx @UPFBarcelona nature.com/articles/s4158… READ/WRITE tech fueled DNA molecular technologies development. Extremely exciting to see how AI starts to enable to 'SPEAK' the language of life. Enabling the generation of synthetic diversity is a fundamental step for future synthetic evolution which opens new horizons in engineering biology.

We are proud to announce that our cell-LINE project has been awarded the Innovalora 2025 Grant, worth €50,000. This funding is a massive boost for our work in developing an RNA-only gene writing tool. We believe this platform has immense potential🧬 ✍ upf.edu/web/innovacio/…

More great news! Our team's RNA project has also been awarded a prestigious CaixaImpulse grant! This funding will help us develop a more efficient and safer RNA gene therapy. Huge thanks to @CaixaResearchCA and the entire team for the incredible work!

Congrats on the Innovalora 2025 grant 🙌🏻

Congrats to the whole cell-LINE team!

🧬 L’ARN pot codificar missatges terapèutics i les tecnologies que els escriuen, però fins ara no eren prou eficients per a la seva aplicació real. Amb #CaixaImpulse, @marcguellc (@Synbio_Lab_UPF) desenvolupa una tecnologia d’ARN eficient, més segura i fàcil d’administrar. 🔗 tinyurl.com/yn2vn6jy

Trained in immunology and hematology, Néstor did his PhD at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute on T cell engineering for the immunotherapy. He's now working on the development of synthetic viral particles for the targeted cell delivery. Wellcome to the Synbio family!

Amazing day at #KeystoneSymposia! Presented a poster on RNA writing and shared our lab’s @Synbio_Lab_UPF research. Proud of the team’s hard work and excited to push forward in this field! 🧬🔬

Some weeks ago we published a new paper where we program C. acnes to actively protect the skin for therapeutic applications. Check it out at @CellSystemsCP! congrats to the team! 🦠🧏🏻‍♂️❤️

🚀 Great news for our lab! We’ve received a €2.5M EIC Transition Grant to advance #Synflora, an innovative biotech treatment for acne. By engineering skin bacteria to release beneficial molecules, we aim to revolutionize dermatology! 🔬✨ upf.edu/web/focus/w/sy…

Next Monday, Feb 10! 📢New #MELISseminar Scaling up genome writing in yeast and mammals Speaker ➡️Jef Boeke, Professor, Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Biomedical Engineering - NYU School of Medicine, Institute for Systems Genetics Host ➡️Marc Güell Cargol, Synbio lab

Our PhD @NastassiaKn received the extraordinary doctoral award for her wonderful doctoral thesis on skin microbiome from the pompeu fabra university, congratulations Nastassia😊

Its Xmass at the SynBio Lab!

Yesterday our PhD candidates attended the @UPFBarcelona PhD wellcome anual meeting 🙌🏻
