Minor Tweak, Major Impact

Ross has recently completed his PhD at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology. Ross has worked on modern tools for fine-tuned regulation of gene expression in bacteria, with a focus on applying statistical modelling techniques and QbD and Design of Experiments to rapidly engineer and optimise genetic toolkits. Ross is currently working at the University of Manchester as a postdoctoral research associate in the lab of Dr. Neil Dixon, but will shortly be starting a new position at Syngenta as an Automation Scientist. In this episode we’re talking with Ross about his work, Design of Experiments, Computer-Aided Biology, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and more.Referenced LinksSurvey and CAB website:https://www.computeraidedbiology.com/cab-surveyhttps://www.computeraidedbiology.comPaper explaining why we need DoE:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26505134Synthace articles on DoE:https://synthace.com/blog/2020/6/4/heres-why-you-should-stop-doing-science-like-you-were-taught-in-high-school-part-1https://synt
