A brighter future… built with biology

Hi ,
This week, we want to acknowledge the hard work of the biology community in addressing climate change, share innovation through
OpenCell on Twitter Spaces, get excited about digitizing biology and much more!
Thank you to this week’s sponsor, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), who partners with leaders in business and society to tackle their most important challenges and capture their greatest opportunities. Check out BCG's article on Fortune on why they believe companies in every industry in the world have no choice but to come to grips with synthetic biology right away.
Biology Offers Hope Following Dire Climate Report

On Monday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a bleak report on the causes and escalating consequences of climate change. But it was not without hope. We still have time to avert the worst climate disasters by acting decisively and acting now.
Climate change is fueled by crude and outdated technology. But we are also fortunate to live in the time of AI, CRISPR, microbial engineering, and biological design. Without these tools, we would be unable to fertilize crops with microbes, recycle carbon into food, make leather without cows, and produce chemicals with enzymes. These solutions could not have come to life without all of you so thank you for offering hope in a time of darkness. We have a long road ahead but we are honored to be walking it with you.

PCR Cleanup and Plasmid Prep – Simplified!
At the live launch of the EMnetik system, you will see the latest advancements in PCR cleanup and plasmid prep.
The EMnetik system offers:
· Fewer touchpoints
· Faster PCR cleanup and plasmid prep
· Freedom to focus where it really counts
Register for the global unveiling of the EMnetik system on September 15, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. ET!
Science News
- After 2 decades of growth and success, synthetic biology has now become a mature field that is driving significant innovation in the bioeconomy and pushing the boundaries of the biomedical sciences and biotechnology. So what comes next?
- Biological engineers at MIT have devised a new way to efficiently edit bacterial genomes and program memories into bacterial cells by rewriting their DNA.
- Using two CRISPR enzymes, a COVID diagnostic in only 20 minutes: A research team is aiming to develop a diagnostic test that is much faster and easier to deploy than qRT-PCR.
- Although we’re on the cusp of a biotechnological revolution, its potential could still be squandered if there aren’t radical shifts in the making, shipping, buying and disposing of goods, according to Natsai Audrey Chieza, founder of Faber Futures.
- Biotech startups rely heavily on the science behind their products. What are the underlying scientific issues making biotech startups fail? Read on to find out.
