Tried out the No-Code Programming for Biology beginner's kit and wondering what's next? Interested in building your own custom, low-cost hardware for biology research? Our Biomaker Stage 2 kits are now available - including a TotemMaker Chassis kit to build your protypes on, and an extention pack of useful sensors for environmental monitoring.

The Synthetic Biology Interdisciplinary Research Centre (SynBio IRC) has recently undertaken a name change to the Engineering Biology Interdisciplinary Research Centre (EngBio IRC). This decicion has been made to better reflect the broard range of research, ideas and activities undertaken by the IRC and its members, and to better support its members in applying for grants and support from UKRI's new National Engineering Biology Programme (NEBP).

The Biomaker Challenge is an opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary team to identify and solve lab or field challenges, learn to use code-free programming for hardware and user interface development, develop biological applications, scientific instruments and real-world tools, or develop new ideas. The 2021 Winter Challenge will support projects exploring plants, soil and the environment.
