Center for Synbio Goes Global
Reuters has produced 3 films on Center for Synbio research, and in the past month, there has been tremendous international interest in them.
The stories have been picked up by news providers including the Huffington Post, MSN, AOL and Yahoo, amongst many others.
Natural ice cream future awaits as vanillin compound isolated
The video has been picked up by at least 100 international news sites, including the Huffington Post.
Nethaji Gallage, describes her research on
elucidating the properties of biosynthetic
pathways of vanillin.
This will allow researchers to replace a
part of synthetically made vanillin, which
is synthetically produced using fossil fuels
today, with sustainable production
systems such as yeast.
Eucalyptus study could be key to koala survival, says researcher
The video has been picked up by at least 20 international news sites, including the Huffington Post.
Center affiliated post doc, Elizabeth
Neilson, investigates the complex suite
of bio-active natural products present Eucalyptus species.
By understanding how they is able to
digest lignin found in eucalyptus, Elizabeth hopes to understand how koala may be
able to deal with the impacts of climate
change and thereby boost the health of

Center for Synthetic Biology, Copenhagen- Plant Pathway Discovery
This video is published on Youtube and has been viewed almost 800 times.
Pathway Discovery projects explain their
work on understanding the modular
nature of plant pathways, and the
possibility of transferring one plant’s
capacity for creating certain molecules to
another.
The researchers work on everything from basic research, application through
collaboration with a range of food and pharmaceutical companies, as well as outreach to help the public understand the implications of the research.
