Computer science, barcoding & engineering biology

On this episode of EngBio Tech Dr Mahsa Baniasadi joins to explore her exciting project entitled ‘Harnessing AI-assisted synthetic Biology for enzyme engineering towards PFAS bioremediation’. Can AI help in the fight against PFAS?

For the fifth episode of EngBioTech we wanted to support International Women in Engineering Day, a fantastic initiative brought about by the Women’s Engineering Society. The theme for this year is 'Engineered Intelligence' with the aim being to promote the amazing work that women engineers across the globe are doing.According to the Women's Engineering Society currently in the UK only 16.9% of engineers are women, so here at EBIC we wanted to do our bit to encourage more young women and girls to take up engineering as a career. Listen now to our interview with EBIC Hub Manager Dr Kristell Le Corre Pidou and Dr Rachel Samson, Research Fellow in Molecular Bioaerosol Detection, both at Cranfield University.

Joining the podcast this episode are two EBIC early career researchers (ECR) Dr Yasmin Meeda and Dr James Croxford to discuss all things ECR - the successes, the challenges & top tips if you want to work in academia!

Joining the podcast today is Dr Boyd McKew & Dr Hannah Adams, both of University of Essex to explore how engineering biology can help combat oil pollution. Presented by Nicola Heaven, EBIC's Knowledge Mobilisation & Science Communication Officer.

Are you fascinated by the world of engineering biology? Eager to discover how EBIC is leveraging this innovative field to enhance our environment? Tune in to our quarterly podcast, where we share exciting insights and host inspiring guests from the world of engineering biology and beyond.Episode two features Professor Natalio Krasnogor & Yasir Akbar, both of Newcastle University, to discuss their fascinating work in the fields of computer science and engineering biology - with a focus on utilising barcodes for engineered microbes.

Welcome the inaugural EBIC Podcast! This episode features Professor Ronan McCarthy & Lyuboslava Harkova, both of Brunel University London, to discuss their fascinating work utilising biofilms and bacteria to breakdown plastic - just in time for this years #worldenvironmentday which for 2025 focuses on ending plastic pollution globally - watch now to see how EBIC are doing our part!
