Data-driven Enzyme Design Enzymes are natural molecular machines that can perform the amazing feat of enabling and accelerating chemical reactions without themselves being consumed in the process. All living organisms on Earth depend on enzymes to process nutrients, to grow and to reproduce. Thanks to the development of modern biotechnology, enzymes can also be produced … Continued
The paper “Turnover Dependent Phenotypic Simulation: A Quantitative Constraint-Based Simulation Method That Accommodates All Main Strain Design Strategies” was recently published on ACS Synthetic Biology. This work has contributions from SilicoLife together with researchers from University of Minho, Chalmers University of Technology, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability and ITQB-NOVA.
This workshop, by invitation only, gathers a relatively small and diverse group of researchers to discuss novel perspectives in (computational) systems and synthetic biology arising from areas like systems and control theory, biophysics, applied mathematics, statistics and computer science (including machine learning). It will be presented several works related to reverse and forward engineering approaches … Continued
SilicoLife is participating on the company forum organized by BioData.pt, the Portuguese distributed e-infrastructure for biological data and the Portuguese node of ELIXIR, together with P-BIO, the Portuguese Bioindustry Association. Simão Soares, SilicoLife CEO, is speaking on the panel on how to generate value from biological data.
SilicoLife is participating at the conference Natural Products – Discovery, Biosynthesis and Application organized as part of the Copenhagen Bioscience conferences by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. This meeting covers the recent advances in the discovery of new natural products, elucidation of their biosynthetic pathways, activation of latent pathways or expression of pathways in heterologous hosts, … Continued
Butanol is a 4-carbon alcohol generally used as an industrial solvent with a growing multi-billion market. N-Butanol can be used both as a feedstock for chemical applications and as a biofuel. It is commonly produced from fossil fuels through very pollutant processes, strongly contributing to GHG emissions, and thus requiring more sustainable and greener production … Continued
Today, we celebrate 9 years! This has been an exciting journey that started with the vision of using computation to understand and shape nature combining AI and Biology. Today we work closely with companies from all over the world and we are leading some of the most ambitious projects to expand nature diversity designing sustainable and … Continued
SilicoLife is part of a limited hand-picked number of companies backed by the European Innovation Council (EIC) pilot to participate in the P&G and Partners Corporate Day 2019. The selected companies will have the opportunity to pitch and present their business cases and to engage in one-on-one business meetings with representatives from some of the leading Corporates … Continued
