Journal Publication – A Decade of SBOL Visual: Growing Adoption of a Diagram Standard for Engineering Biology
Weโre delighted to share that Felipe Xavier Buson, our cohort 1 student, has published a new journal article in ACS Synthetic Biology! ๐
๐ A Decade of SBOL Visual: Growing Adoption of a Diagram Standard for Engineering Biology
In this publication, Felipe and co-authors looked back on ten years of SBOL Visual, a key standard for representing genetic design diagrams. For Felipe, this work marks a significant step in a growing career in engineering biology standards:
โI will continue to work on standards for engineering biology, including SBOL and SBOL Visual, and apply them in my other work. The use of these standards is important for unambiguous communication and reproducibility during engineering practice.โ
A huge congratulations to Felipe on this achievement – weโre excited to see what comes next! ๐

Cohort 1 Begins Their Short Research Project 1
On Monday 17th February 2025, students began their first of two individual short research projects. These projects are 11 weeks long, giving students the opportunity to work with a supervisor to develop their ideas.
Retreat 2024
Just before the Christmas break, students from Bristol and Oxford spent a couple of days in Swindon together. Here, they discussed their upcoming group project work, their short research projects, and had a training session about public engagement.
