Really interesting sessions working with amazing plant scientists on bold bets, visions for the 2050 and how to translate our work into real world impact! #gainsbio20 Nov 2025 21:56 +0000at://did:plc:7vhgd6gnoxb7khspkedatmjx/app.bsky.feed.post/3m63r46xn4k2thttps://bsky.app/profile/ciaranlkelly.bsky.social/post/3m5j6yzaw722wBrilliant to have @rochelleaw.bsky.social back in the UK and starting up her group at Nottingham. Doing really cool cell-free glycosylated protein production. #sbuk #sbuk202513 Nov 2025 12:44 +0000at://did:plc:7vhgd6gnoxb7khspkedatmjx/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5j6yzaw722whttps://bsky.app/profile/ciaranlkelly.bsky.social/post/3m5iywfftqk2aGreat talk by Sarah Guiziou on all of the amazing things integrases can be used for to study and engineer plant roots.
