New research brings combined computational and laboratory genome engineering a step closer following the design of smaller and smaller genomes, to advance genetic manipulation, using supercomputers by researchers at the University of Bristol.
Andreas Michaelis, German Ambassador to the Court of St James's, visited Bristol on Wednesday 2 September accompanied by his wife Frau Heike Michaelis, German Consul General Hans-Guenther Loeffler, and the new Honorary German Consul for Bristol Kai von Pahlen.
Pioneering research has repurposed a gene editing tool to help shed light on the true biodiversity present in natural environments.
HRH Duke of Kent met staff and students at the University of Bristol’s Synthetic Biology Research Centre recently and saw some of the exciting and pioneering research being carried out there.
A druggable pocket in the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein that could be used to stop the virus from infecting human cells has been discovered by an international team of scientists led by the University of Bristol. The researchers say their findings, published today [21 September] in the journal Science, are a potential 'game changer' in defeating the current pandemic and add that small molecule anti-viral drugs developed to target the pocket they discovered could help eliminate COVID-19.
Two renowned University of Bristol researchers have been elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences.
Chemists, biochemists and physicists at Bristol, Exeter and Sheffield have teamed up in a £7.25 million five-year project that could drive down the cost of energy production and help in the government’s net zero carbon ambitions
Building stripped-down versions of life using protocells, genome delivery systems and synthetic cytoskeletons comprise some of the groundbreaking research due to take place at a new Centre launched at the University of Bristol today [Wednesday 27 March]. The Max Planck-Bristol Centre for Minimal Biology, a partnership between the University of Bristol and the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science (MPG) in Germany, aims to advance the future of health and medicine by understanding the fundamental nature of life.
Bristol celebrated an awards scoop at the Great West Awards 2019, which honoured the achievements of some of the region's most innovative science and engineering spin-outs and start ups.
Two senior researchers from the University of Bristol have been awarded over €4 million in European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grants in recognition of their ‘excellent science’ and potentially ground-breaking research.
