Calin Plesa, an assistant professor in the Department of Bioengineering at the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact, has received a prestigious grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) to support his groundbreaking work in large-scale gene synthesis. This award is part of CZI’s Scaling Up Synthetic Biology program, which aims to overcome key barriers in scaling, throughput and cost of synthetic biology methods.

Researchers across the Knight Campus are headed to the annual ORS conference in Phoenix, Arizona! See you there!
