Engineering crop disease resistance to overcome the growth-defence trade-off
Developing crops that are both productive and resillient is one of the major challenges facing agriculture. While disease-resistance genes can protect plants from devastating pathogens, they often come with a hidden cost: reduced growth and lower yields. This PhD will investigate whether engineering biology can overcome this trade-off by precisely controlling when and where resistance genes are expressed.

'Brewed Protein' Startup Spiber Opens Biofoundry to Produce Fermentation-Derived Products
Japanese biotech startup Spiber has launched a contract service for strain development and fermentation manufacturing, targeting next-gen proteins for use as food ingredients, industrial enzymes, and more. Spiber, a firm known for its fermentation-derived Brewed Protein materials for the fashion industry, has kickstarted a contract biomanufacturing platform to help companies scale up sustainable proteins across a wide range of applications. The service builds on the Japanese company’s expertise in commercialising Brewed Protein, which is used by more than 40 fashion, personal care and automotive brands in over 200 products. It will leverage the pilot- and commercial-scale fermenters at Spiber’s facilities in Japan and Thailand, offering strain engineering and fermentation capabilities. “Developing diverse structural proteins has enabled us to build the technology, expertise, and facilities needed to scale fermentation from the lab to commercial production,” said CEO Maya Kawana. “Through Spiber Biofoundry, we are making these capabilities available to other companies to shorten their time to market. Faster commercialisation reduces the burden of ongoing costs and improves a business’s chances of success.” Services span strain engineering and fermentation process development The biofoundry tackles three familiar problems for fermentation companies: yields that will not improve, projects that are stalled at scale-up, and...
