A different Culture shaping Synthetic Biology in Europe Labiotech.eu

"How we talk about synthetic biology – and new technology in general – is often shaped by our culture. For those trying to bring investors and partners on board in a new venture, there is a danger of overhyping the impact of the technology. Audiences from different cultural backgrounds will also perceive the hype differently. I discussed the topic with Nadine Bongaerts-Duportet of Science Matters and Hello Tomorrow."

Synthetic biology research is strong in Europe, but the region has much to learn from the US when it comes to commercial translation, attracting investment and liaising with regulators. Europe’s synthetic biology scene is on the cusp of maturity. European teams dominated many areas in the overgrad...

📣Please meet Rodrigo Garcia Valiente, Ana Coelho, Daniel Segura Garzon (left to right). Three ambitious researchers from Cosmic-H2020 who are studying the immune system to better understand rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

💊They will share their knowledge with you and discuss what new therapies for RA could look like.

👋We look forward to seeing you tonight in Stockholm!
