The overall objective of GBA is to:
1. Develop, promote, and support non-commercial biofoundries established around the world, 2. Intensify collaboration and communication among biofoundries, 3. Collectively develop responses to technological, operational, and other types of common challenges, 4. Enhance visibility, impact and sustainability of non-commercial biofoundries, and 5. Explore globally relevant and societally impactful grand challenge collaborative projects.

London Biofoundry testing and pooling projects19 March, 2021Posted in:Research-In early 2020, due to reagent and labware shortages, there were significant limitations on SARS-CoV-2 testing capacity worldwide, with the UK’s diagnostic capacity at only 10 000 tests per day at the beginning of April. The London Biofoundry worked together with NHS colleagues to successfully increase testing capacity in accredited NHS laboratories at the St

Teollisuuden päästöjä voidaan leikata merkittävästi sähköistymisen avulla, sanoo @ArastoAntti⚡ Suomessa teollisuus käyttää lähes puolet energiasta, joten sen päästövähennyksillä on valtava merkitys. @yleuutiset avaa @Ilmastopaneeli1 tuoretta selvitystä👇

The Martin lab is currently looking for 2 postdocs to work on hGPCR expression in yeast https://t.co/IzuRSSKw29 and laboratory evolution of Kluyveromyces https://t.co/FdoT14fg3j
Hiilineutraalitavoitetta 2035 ei saavuteta, jollei uusia toimia päästöjen vähentämiseksi oteta ripeästi käyttöön kaikilla sektoreilla todetaan @yministerio-ilmastovuosikertomuksessa.
Ten FAN-tastic & inspiring startups were chosen to start 4-month acceleration programme at the EIT FAN Nordic Hub. The Hub received more than 80 applications from 20 countries. Hub’s target is to promote a sustainable #food system
EU:n ja Adran tänään solmima sopimus avaa vaikutusmahdollisuudet EU:n kehityshankkeiden #AI #data #robotiikka - työohjelmien sisältöihin 💚 EU investoi 1300 milj. € 2021–2030 ja yrittyksiltä odotetaan samansuuruista. Adrassa mukana VTT:n @CajSod

⚗️VTT:llä on ollut todella hienoa päästä tutustumaan puhdastilalaboratorioihin, oppimaan käytännössä tutkimuksen eri vaiheista, ohutkalvopinnoitetekniikasta sekä sen hyödyntämisestä erilaisissa MEMS-komponenteissa. 3/4
🌟VTT:ssä kiehtoo erityisesti se, kuinka laajasti erilaisia tutkimusryhmiä täällä on, ja kuinka suuri vaikutus kehitetyillä ratkaisuilla on nykypäivän haasteisiin. Odotan innolla uuden oppimista sekä tutustumista VTT:n inspiroivaan ja merkitykselliseen työhön kesän aikana!4/4
Tapaa ensimmäinen kesän VTT Changemaker!
📚Olen Sara ja opiskelen kemiantekniikkaa Aberdeenin yliopistossa. Aloitan kolmannen vuoden ensi syksynä ja tänä kesänä olen tutkimusharjoittelijana MEMS-tiimissä. 1/4
