Look out for #PintOfScience this year and our lab is presenting in Castle Bar, Cambridge. #Pint26 pintofscience.co.uk/event/milk-m...

Our pre-print is out on building a vaccine against Herpes Simplex Virus, a great collaboration with Jeff Cohen's lab through NIH OxCam and keen to get your comments: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #vaccines

Well done to the group for educating another lot of youngsters what are #vaccines and how to build them with sticky proteins at the Cambridge Festival 2026! 955 people through the door @campathology.bsky.social @cambridgefestival.bsky.social

Will be speaking online at this free Protein Engineering festival- check out lots of cool #synbio talks: www.eusynbios.org/eusynbioscal... @eusynbios.org @phar.cam.ac.uk

Not clickbait 🖱️ build and explore proteins and other biological components faster than ever! Professor Mark Howarth defines Click Biology — standards for building biological tools that’s analogous to Click Chemistry — in our latest blog post! @HowarthSci

Delighted to invite you to the RSC symposium, “Integrating chemistry, engineering and biology to create the next generation of vaccines” at Queens’ College Cambridge on 30th March 2026. www.rsc.org/events/detai... @rsc.org #vaccines #immunology #synbio #biophysics

My perspective is online from today on the power of a few good reactions: What is Click Biology? What can it do for you? What can you do for Click Biology? Keen to discuss. rdcu.be/erMjs #synbio @rsc.org #chemistry

Here is our paper on generating a Monkeypox vaccine candidate www.nature.com/articles/s41... led by Bernie Moss lab. Plug-and-display VLPs give a high level of protection, beating the standard Vaccinia-based vaccine. #mpox #vaccines #synbio
