New technology continues to amaze us---here we report on the persuasive power of AI as a 40-person team. How amazing will bottom-up synthetic immunology technology be? Fingers crossed for SynthImmune on Thursday! x.com/SchoeneggerP...

New technology challenges communication inside and outside the classroom, as my recent paper explains. Fingers crossed we get to explore this question soon for emerging synthetic biotechnology within SynthImmune www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....

The SynthImmune project by Heidelberg University& partner institutes advances a "bottom-up" synthetic biology approach to immunotherapies. Hoping they do well in the German government's Excellence Strategy—anticipating the announcement on 22 May. Perspective article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
