Center for Synthetic Biology at Northwestern University member Ludmilla Aristilde's collaboration with multidisciplinary researchers to gain a better understanding of soil processes was featured recently in Northwestern Engineering Magazine. Efforts like these can potentially lead to soil-based solutions for slowing human-caused climate change. https://bit.ly/3D2zjHa McCormick School of Engineering #syntheticbiology

This Giving Tuesday, empower tomorrow's innovators in synthetic biology! Please consider supporting Northwestern's Center for Synthetic Biology in shaping the next generation of leaders through hands-on research and mentorship. Programs like the DeFeo Family Undergraduate Research Fellowship and the SynBREU Summer Experience give students unparalleled opportunities to tackle challenges in medicine, sustainability, and technology. DeFeo Fellowship: Two-year mentorships help undergraduates explore groundbreaking synthetic biology projects, such as eco-friendly tech and cutting-edge biomedicine. SynBREU Program: NSF-funded research experience that introduces students from diverse backgrounds to lab and computational techniques, fostering a thriving community of future STEM professionals. Your contribution today directly supports these transformative student experiences. Together, we can amplify innovation and open doors for budding scientists! 👉 Donate here to support student programs in synthetic biology: https://bit.ly/4i58RwE Thank you for making an impact! 💜 #CatsGiveBack #GivingTuesday #SyntheticBiology, Eric M.

Last month, over 125 brilliant minds from academia, industry, and government gathered in Evanston, IL, for the 2024 Central US Synthetic Biology Workshop, hosted by the Center for Synthetic Biology at Northwestern University. From innovative engineering approaches to societal impacts, the discussions ran deep. Together, researchers, students, and innovators pushed the boundaries of what's possible, underscoring Northwestern's leadership as a collaborative hub for synthetic biology in the Central US. It's an exciting time to be in this field—and we’re just getting started! #SyntheticBiology #Innovation #Collaboration #Northwestern, Danielle Tullman-Ercek, Sera Young, Julius Lucks, Andrew Ellington, Luis Campos

Center for Synthetic Biology at Northwestern University is thrilled to announce the launch of its CSB Postdoctoral Fellowship Program! This is a unique opportunity for early-career scientists to engage in cutting-edge research at the intersection of biology, engineering, and technology. The program will select three exceptional postdoctoral fellows to collaborate closely with world-renowned faculty in one or more of CSB's diverse research areas. Fellows will have the chance to make meaningful contributions to advancing the field of synthetic biology—working on pioneering projects that have the potential to drive innovations in health, sustainability, and biotechnology. If you're passionate about innovative research and want to be part of a vibrant, forward-thinking community at the forefront of scientific discovery, this is the ideal opportunity for you!
