On 1 August 2026, the Max Planck Society will launch the SynCell nExUs postdoctoral programme. The five-year programme, coordinated by the Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Biochemistry and the MPI for T...

The cellular context decisively shapes genetic circuit performance, but the interplay between host and circuit remains difficult to control rationally. To address this challenge, we replaced the nativ...

Agriculture is under pressure to provide food for a growing population and the feedstock required to drive the bioeconomy. Methods to breed and genetically modify plants are inadequate to keep pace. W...

Over half a century ago, in a time of rapid advances in digital computing, Jacob and Monod’s seminal work on the lac operon was destined to be framed as biological computation. But the history of cell...

Genetic circuit engineering enables new cellular functions, yet most circuits are developed in the model host Escherichia coli, limiting their availab…
