From dark matter to electronic noses: Using synthetic proteins to build new technologies

As part of the Somerscience, a new science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) family festival taking place across Bruton and Castle Cary in South Somerset, Bristol BioDesign Institute Director Professor Dek Woolfson will give a talk describing synthetic proteins that his team have made that go beyond protein structures that occur in nature, and how they are putting these designer proteins to use to make new biosensors to detect diseases like cancer.

Researchers from ADDovenom will also be at Somerscience, with an interactive display in The Market House (BA7 7AH) as part of the Science Fair.
