We build technologies for an open, globally inclusive and equitable bioeconomy

We develop biomanufacturing tools and technologies that are sustainable by design and deployable in low-resource contexts

Green and circular biodesign for reagent manufacturing

Modular technologies for robust supply chains

Agile, just-in-time production with cell-free synthetic biology

Featured Project:
Green magnetic bead manufacturing

Collaboration with UCAM Colloidal Dispersions Group to use salt-driven assembly of silica magnetic nanoparticles for DNA and protein purification

Featured Project:
Solid State Bioreactors for Enzyme Production

Rapid and ultra-low cost enzyme production using plate-based expression, readily-available reagents and no purification

Featured Project:
Distributed production of restriction enzymes

Investigating cell-free expression of restriction enzymes for Type IIS DNA assembly and diagnostics: from biotech to business model

We investigate the most effective ways that our research can make a positive impact in developing and emerging economies, particularly the effect of open source technologies

Open source toolkits to enable distributed biomanufacturing of reagents

Impactful global partnerships and capacity building for the SDGs

Strategies for an open, sustainable and equitable global bioeconomy

Featured Project:
Open Enzyme Collection

Collaboration with Free Genes Project at Stanford providing >150 enzymes and DNA parts for manufacturing essential research reagents.

Featured Project:
CRISPR TyphoidDx

Novel partnerships for diagnostic development and manufacturing in Cameroon based on CRISPR-Cas12 technology.

Featured Project:
Advancing Open Science Hardware

Policy for open science hardware in research, technology transfer and sustainable development
