Well done to the group for educating another lot of youngsters what are #vaccines and how to build them with sticky proteins at the Cambridge Festival 2026! 955 people through the door @campathology.bsky.social @cambridgefestival.bsky.social

Will be speaking online at this free Protein Engineering festival- check out lots of cool #synbio talks:

Our alum Douglas Adams: "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by". Well, we had a deadline and after whooshing/gnashing, now we’ve another for you- 23 Feb. Many exciting submissions so far to "Integrating chem/eng/biol for next gen of vaccines" and still time for more

Two weeks left to register and submit abstracts for our symposium in Cambridge "Integrating chemistry, engineering and biology to create the next generation of vaccines"

How to make a NanoBondy- looking forward to your feedback on Lasya's preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My perspective is online from today on the power of a few good reactions: What is Click Biology? What can it do for you? What can you do for Click Biology? Keen to discuss.
