    My Experience at SynBio Canada 2019 - Episode #7 of 5-Minute-Reviews - Generation Genome Media

    This Wednesday I got the amazing opportunity to go to SynBio 2019. I heard a lot of great talks and learned a lot about how the field of research is changing. The conference featured many talks including one by George Church and there was also a start-up pitch competition.

    Artificial Gene Synthesis - Episode #6 of 5-Minute-Reviews - Generation Genome Media

    With the rise of the new age of synthetic biology, we are quickly redefining how we look at life from a molecular standpoint. Our genetic code is becoming more malleable, opening the door to new innovations to solve some of the worlds problems. Artificial Gene synthesis involved chemically synthesize a strand of DNA base-by-base. It is not like the process in our body like polymerase chain reaction because it does not require a template strand. The first gene synthesis came around in the 1960s but the de novo synthesis has greatly improved since then with our vast knowledge about the human genome and epigenome. In this episode, I talk about the procedure and applications of artificial gene synthesis.

    The Phototropic Human Genome: Solving World Hunger and Climate change - Episode #5 of 5-Minute-Reviews - Generation Genome Media

    795 million people are malnourished worldwide. World hunger and climate change are huge problems alive today. If we are not feeding the world of 2019, how will we feed the world of 2050, and how will we prevent the effects of climate change when we have all of these people? Today I discuss a revolutionary idea on creating a phototropic human genome that will allow humans to produce food on their own.

    6 Letter DNA: The New World of Synthetic Biology - Episode #4 of 5-Minute-Reviews- Generation Genome

    All life has been founded upon the same 4 letters of our genetic code. Recently, scientists have been looking beyond that and seeing how they can synthetically produce base pairs to make semi-synthetic organisms. In this episode I describe a study that has produced the bases X and Y to produce new amino acids in microbes!

    Under the Radar, Implantable Drug-Making Cells - Episode #1 of 5-Minute-Reviews - Generation Genome

    I am starting a brand new series on the Generation Genome podcast called 5-Minute-Reviews. Every week I will be discussing a new biotechnology which has the power to disrupt the healthcare system in 5 minutes or less. In the first episode I describe Implantable Drug-Making Cells that are invisible to our immune system.

    Using CRISPR Cas9 to Genetically Modify E.coli - Episode 5 Generation Genome Media

    CRISPR Cas9 has been in the news a lot lately, good and bad. This week I finished my CRISPR Cas9 experiment where I genetically modified a sample of E. coli to have it grow in a usually fatal environment. Read the article to learn more!
