A great opportunity to gain experience in automation and #engbio in #plantscience with our fantastic team at the Earlham Biofoundry! More details below, applications close 31 March! @cgrandel.bsky.social

🆕 Earlham Institute joins with other leading UK research organisations to form new National Research Organisations (NRO) Group - @nro-group.bsky.social - advancing science for the benefit of people, communities, the economy, and national priorities.

Rewriting the code of plant immunity- New approaches to engineering plant immunity can more broadly protect crops against pathogens and disease, once they get through regulatory hurdles. @resurrectbio.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Today is a big day as the Precision Breeding Act comes into force 🌱 @kamounlab.bsky.social: “This is a milestone for UK science and innovation. We now have the regulatory framework to translate discovery into impact — improving crops, strengthening food security, and benefiting society” 🌿

Please reach out if interested!

Strange things happened in the Opentrons Flex deck today in the biofoundry … 🎃

We have a fully funded and exciting opportunity for a PhD project led by @conradn.bsky.social and the Biofoundry group to advance synthetic genomics @earlhaminst.bsky.social

Yesterday we were delighted to welcome Prof Sir Ian Chapman, CEO of @ukri.org, with BBSRC colleagues to the Earlham Institute and #NorwichResearchPark to learn about our data-driven science to accelerate solutions for health, biodiversity, and food security. #datascience #engbio #genomics

💻🧬 Keen to learn about eukaryotic genome annotation? Registration is now open for our 2026 online #genomeannotation course, led by our core #bioinformatics team. ➡️ buff.ly/sonWCgT

Welcome Opentrons Flex to the Biofoundry! Looking forward to designing and creating protocols together! 🤖 🧬 🌱#automation #engineeringbiology @davideanne.bsky.social @earlhaminst.bsky.social

📣 We're pleased to open applications for a new Group Leader in Artificial Intelligence (#AI) in Biology. Join our collaborative and inter-disciplinary research environment, exploring the natural world through the lens of #genomics. 🗓️ Applications close: 24 Oct ➡️ buff.ly/YRz3YLe #machinelearning

We've just opened expressions of interest for a new one day workshop focusing on #Biofoundries, #automation, and #engineeringbiology in plant and microbial systems, covering: 🔃 applying automated workflows 🤖 robotic platforms and liquid handlers 🧫 high-throughput experimentation buff.ly/0coaUkX

Only 5 days left to apply for our Soil metagenomics position: estimating the impact microbiomes in restored agricultural sites can have on climate change (closing 19th Sep): jobs.earlham.ac.uk/Details.asp?...

#EarlhamBiofoundry Retreat, apart from modular DNA assemblies, we now also master origami modular assemblies 😎 #standarisation #engineeringbiology @earlhaminst.bsky.social @davideanne.bsky.social #teamwork @MelissaSalmon @EricaHawkins #Biofoundries #Automation

@davideanne.bsky.social showing off our new protocol with the Opentrons 👏🏼🤖 @earlhaminst.bsky.social

Two of our students - Rosie and Archie - shared their experience working with our Technical Genomics and Earlham Biofoundry Groups, developing their skills and gaining practical training in #genomics and #laboratory #automation. 🧬 🔗 buff.ly/KF08OL9 @drkarimgharbi.bsky.social @cgrandel.bsky.social

🧬 Are you looking to establish and lead an internationally recognised programme of innovative research in #engineeringbiology? ⚙️ Join our Research Faculty as a new Group Leader: buff.ly/7uI1FQL #EngBio #Biotech #SynBio

Dear #Proteomics community, my team at @thesainsburylab.bsky.social is looking to automate digestions and enrichment workflows using'off the shelf' solutions (consumables and robotics) compatible with Proteomics workflows. Have you already implemented #automation, please reply

If you want to gain skills and experience in #plantsciences and #bioengineering take a look at our 12-month #Internship in the Earlham #Biofoundry:

We are looking for an intern to join the Biofoundry team!

🆕 Scientists at the Earlham Institute, @uommib.bsky.social, and @johninnescentre.bsky.social are partnering to develop #synthetic plant chromosome technologies, to rapidly design and deliver beneficial traits to crops, as part of a new £8.5m @aria-research.bsky.social project. ➡️ buff.ly/n80muy0

This PhD position is a collaboration between Gwen le Gall UEA MED and Carolina Grandellis @earlhaminst.bsky.social bioFoundry. If you are interested in microbiology, animal development and high-throughput methods please apply. Email for questions.

We are advertising for a PhD position to study bacterial metabolites in C. elegans, funded by the MRC Microbes, Microbiomes and Bioinformatics training programme @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social @biouea.bsky.social. Open to UK and international students. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Another great couple of days at #NorwichScienceFestival, huge thanks to everyone who joined us and our colleagues volunteering their time on the stand. @theforumnorwich.bsky.social @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social
