But as the landscape of education itself undergoes radical change, Bristol’s enterprising students continue to excel in their chosen fields and branch out into extra-curricular activities with energy and imagination. Postgrads rally to Mongolia Two Bristol postgraduates completed one of the most extreme car challenges in the world – the 8,000-mile Mongol Rally – in an old Volkswagen Polo.

  • INAUGURAL SCN MEETING 24 – 25 March 2009
    INAUGURAL SCN MEETING 24 – 25 March 2009 Coombe Lodge, Bristol Dear Network Member, First of all, welcome to Coombe Lodge, and welcome to the Inaugural Meeting of the Synthetic Components Network (SCN). The SCN is one of seven Reseach Council-funded Networks in Synthetic Biology. Synthetic biology is one of the BBSRC’s ten new research priorities and is signposted at EPSRC. The Research Council’s aims in setting up the Networks include: to engender a culture of taking a synthetic-biology approach in biological sciences and engineering in the UK; to grow a UK community in synthetic biology; and to help define* what is new and emerging research area, with many interested parties from a broad collection of disciplines. *Though, like many, we feel that keeping this definition as loose and broad as possible may be the best and healthiest option. As stated in our original proposal for the SCN, in broad terms its scientific aim is ‘…to address the challenge of creating new biological and biomimetic systems by combining de novo designed molecular components, pared-down biological moieties and engineering-design principles to build self-organising, functional biomolecular systems’. Now that we are gathered together for the first time, some of the things that we should address are: is this aim appropriate and tractable, and can we better-define what we would like to achieve through the Network? In considering this, however, in some respects this a discussion exercise because we do not have funds for research as such, though we hope sincerely that major grant applications will emerge from it.

  • Regulating Genome Edited Organisms As Gmos Has Negative Consequences for Agriculture, Society and Economy
    Regulating genome edited organisms as GMOs has negative consequences for agriculture, society and economy On July 25th, the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) ruled that organisms obtained by modern forms of mutagenesis such as CRISPR are not exempt from the EU GMO legislation. Consequently, genome edited organisms must comply with the strict conditions of the EU GMO legislation. This is in stark contrast with the opinion of the Advocate-General of the Court, which was published in January of this year and advised ruling otherwise. We regret the purely process-based interpretation of the legislation by the Court and conclude that the EU GMO legislation does not correctly reflect the current state of scientific knowledge. Organisms that have undergone simple and targeted genome edits by means of precision breeding and which do not contain foreign genes are at least as safe as if they were derived from classical breeding techniques. Therefore, we call upon all European authorities to quickly respond to this ruling and alter the legislation such that organisms containing such edits are not subject to the provisions of the GMO Directive but instead fall under the regulatory regime that applies to classically bred varieties. In the longer term, the GMO Directive should be thoroughly revised to correctly reflect scientific progress in biotechnology. There are many reasons why agriculture in Europe and around the globe must become more sustainable. Agricultural practices put pressure on our environment, we are faced with a growing population (mounting to an estimated 10 billion mouths to feed by 2050), and climate change poses increasing challenges for crops – climate measurements from the summer of 2018 underline the urgency of this message.

  • Appendices Emerging Biotechnologies
    Appendices Emerging biotechnologies Appendix 1: Method of working Background The Nuffield Council on Bioethics established the Working Party on ‗Emerging biotechnologies‘ in January 2011. The Working Party met eleven times over a period of 18 months. In order to inform its deliberations, it held an open consultation and a series of 'fact-finding‘ meetings with external stakeholders and invited experts. It also commissioned two reports on topics relevant to the work of the project and received comments on a draft of the Report from 12 external reviewers. Further details of each of these aspects of the Working Party‘s work are given below and in Appendix 2. The Working Party would like to express its gratitude to all those involved for the invaluable contribution they made to the development of the final Report. Consultation document The Working Party launched a consultation in April 2011, which ran until July 2011. 84 responses were received, of which 48 were submitted by individuals and 36 on behalf of organisations. Those responding to the consultation included students, academics, faith groups and professional organisations. A full list of those responding is set out in Appendix 2. A summary of the responses is available on the Council‘s website. Copies of individual responses will also be made available on the website in those instances where the Council has permission from respondents to do so. Fact-finding As part of its work, the Working Party held a series of 'fact-finding‘ meetings, the details of which can be found below. (Details

Doctor Steven Johnson and Doctor Simon White, the other members of the coiled coil team, have also been integral to this project and I thank them for their assistance and friendship. I would also like to thank Doctor Franziska Thomas and Professor Dek Woolfson for their insights and assistance designing and synthesising the peptides used in this work. I must also thank all the members of the Bioelectronics Group, past and present, for their expertise and friendship over the years. Thanks also to the members of the various biology and chemistry groups in Leeds and Bristol for helping the confused physicist who could occasionally be found in their labs asking odd questions and trying not to break anything.
