Ellis, Tom - Imperial College London - Department of Bioengineering

个人简介

Dr Tom Ellis is a senior lecturer leading research in synthetic biology and synthetic genome engineering in the Department of Bioengineering. He has track record in synthetic biology, being author of over 20 publications in synthetic biology including work in Nature Methods, Nature Biotechnology, PNAS and Nature Reviews. He is leader of the UK-funded project to build a synthetic yeast chromosome for the international synthetic yeast project (Sc2.0). He co-leads the teaching of Imperial’s synthetic biology undergraduate module and has won multiple awards for teaching and for supervision of 4 of the UK’s most successful iGEM teams. His research focuses on developing the foundational tools for accelerating, automating and scaling design-led synthetic biology, focusing on research projects in yeast (S. cerevisiae) and E. coli model organisms, as well as industrially relevant microbes such as Acetobacter, Geobacillus and Bacillus.

Below are some of the more interesting images related to my work in synthetic biology... even lab work with bacteria and yeast can be colourful and interesting on some days.
