Precision Mitrochondria: Engineering the Powerhouse

​Join researchers and builders across biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering for an evening aligned with ARIA’s Bioenergetic Engineering: Precision Mitochondria programme —backed by at least £55m to make the mitochondrial genome programmable in vivo and to build the enabling toolkit for mitochondrial DNA engineering. Whether you’re exploring commercialisation or developing new technologies, you’ll see how Nucleate UK partners with ARIA to accelerate ambitious ideas and ventures.The programme features a fireside chat with Nathan Wolfe (ARIA Programme Director), followed by flash-talk spotlights from leaders across the field:

• ​Michal Minczuk (University of Cambridge)

• ​Title TBA

• ​Kewin Gombeau (University of Manchester)

• ​Empowering mitochondrial DNA engineering with synthetic biology tools.

• ​Ulrich Keyser (University of Cambridge)

• ​Counting native RNA using DNA nanotechnology.

​Afterwards, enjoy drinks and canapés as you continue the conversation with peers and potential collaborators.This event is part of Nucleate Identify, powered through our partnership with the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA).About Nucleate UK
