Recent research news on Artificial Biology

During the spring semester, the team will engage in a structured design thinking process to develop their innovative synthetic biology project, facilitated by PhD student Thea Schinkel. At their first official meeting on February 18, the students kicked off the journey by playing the ESHIP: Navigating Uncertainty game, generating three project ideas aimed at solving real-world challenges through synthetic biology. Photos from the session capture the energy and creativity of the day.

Once a strong and impactful idea has been selected, the team will spend the summer in the laboratory developing a proof of concept, supported by PhD student Niels Rysgaard.

In the fall of 2026, the team will finalize their documentation and prepare a compelling pitch for presentation at the Grand Jamboree in Paris.

AUNAB has high hopes for the team’s potential and looks forward to following their progress. We also extend our sincere thanks to the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center for their generous financial support of this initiative.
