Biology is technology! and we’re excited to show it. The Center SynGen at KIT, thanks to Prof. Hilbert and Dr. Stoev, is taking part in this year’s Boys’ Day, giving them hands-on insights into modern biology, where they are still underrepresented.

This Deutsches Ärzteblatt article by Gisela Gross, "Biosecurity: When artificial intelligence delivers novel viruses", features comments from Center SynGen Director Prof. Dr. Michael Knop.

Center SynGen members Dr. Konrad Herbst (SynDNA Lab) and Prof. Dr. Daniel Schindler feature in a LaborJournal blog about DNA cloning and synthetic biology.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Peter Koo (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) presented a hybrid seminar in Heidelberg. His talk was entitled"Interpreting and designing regulatory DNA with deep learning".

Hosted by Dr. Alexander Sasse

Researchers from all Center SynGen locations participated in a three-day course on Molecular Dynamics simulations organized by Dr. Mariana Kozlowska - the head of DNA VirtMat Unit - in Karlsruhe.
