Great talk from @mehran_plantsci on accumulation of alkaloids in Catharanthus roseus for the Arthur C. Neish Young Investigator Award at @psnaofficial 2024.
Brilliant talk on new-to-nature / non-canonical terpenoids engineered in yeast from @codrutaignea this morning @psnaofficial.
📢Our last issue of 2023 is now online! Check out the article behind this month's cover by @codrutaignea & co @BioengMcGill reviewing how yeast can be engineered for the production of plant terpenoids using synthetic biology approaches pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Congratulations to iGEM McGill on winning the Undergrad Grand Prize and the Vilnius Lithuania team on winning the First Runner Up Prize #iGEM2023
I am beyond proud of our McGill iGEM team, who won the Grand Prize, Best Therapeutics Project, Best Part Collection and Best Presentation Special Prizes in the undergrad category of #iGEM2023 competition. Well done all! Together, we can do it! @McGill_Eng @BioengMcGill

Our latest review on Engineering yeast for the production of plant terpenoids using synthetic biology approaches is now published in Natural Product Reports pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Very honored to present my latest work on new-to-nature terpenoids at the #ME15 in Singapore. Thanks to @MatthewWChang for organizing this amazying event, @PabloINik and @JuliusFredens for co-chairing my session and discussion panel and @jaykeasling for the nice interaction.
Last weekend, we hosted the first of our SynBio Collective workshops!🥼 We aim to allow McGill students to discover synthetic biology research outside of their classes. Thank you to @McGill_Eng, @McGillSBMS, @THebertMcGill, and @LisaMunter2 for making this initiative possible!
One more step towards expanding the terpenoid kingdom. Our paper on synthesis of C16 terpenoids is finally out in @NatureComms and it can be found here rdcu.be/cUS4J. Many thanks to everyone involved.
Our latest research has just been published today in the journal Nature. We engineered yeast to produce the cancer therapeutic vinblastine. You can find the work here: nature.com/articles/s4158…. It is the longest biosynthetic pathway ever refactored into yeast.
SynBio Canada is thrilled to present the next webinar with Dr. Claudia Vickers, Nov 25th, 16:00, free registration: synbiocanada.org/webinar @claudiaevickers
This has been a great team work ! warm congratulations @RenBohr . we acknowledge funding from @VILLUMFONDEN , @Carlsbergfondet and @novonordiskfond funding for @NNFCPR

I’m a virologist & investor... & I’m hearing people say it’s impossible to make covid vaccine b/c we haven’t been able to make one to any coronaviruses. Not true. We have veterinary vaccines for dog & cow strains. Human one’s not been investment worthy, until now. here’s why...
Hey twitter followers, I’d like to introduce to @MicrobiomDigest aka Elizabeth Bik. She’s a warrior for academic publishing integrity. But she’s seldom recognized despite her critical work. You should all follow her!
