I am learning so much as a @engbioirc.bsky.social committee!✨ Don't miss the opportunity and join the network and even the committee!

Engineering Biology Interdisciplinary Research Centre @engbioirc.bsky.social · 13d

In a new series, we introduce you to some of our #EngBio Early Career Researchers. Learn about their research interests, what they enjoy about being on the #ECR committee, and even a fun fact or two!

Ever heard of an organism that rebuilds its genome from scratch? Meet Oxytricha, the wonder that shreds & reassembles DNA pieces guided by RNA! Join us on 15th Sept at 13h for L.Landweber’s @columbiauniversity.bsky.social talk at @cambiochem.bsky.social to explore this case of natural genome editing
