Wyss Institute Founding Core Faculty Member David Edwards discusses a novel technology called WikiCells. WikiCells are novel edible forms for eating and drinking transportable foods and drinks without plastic. Useful as foods and drinks for restaurants, homes, and offices, for delivery to and purchase in stores, and for production and delivery to places in the world where the recycling and disposal of plastic produces a major human and environmental hazard.

In this Wyss seminar Stephen Mann, Wyss Institute Visiting Scholar, will review some recent studies undertaken in his laboratory that provide alternative paradigms at the interface between proto-life research and synthetic biology. Stephen Mann is Professor of Chemistry, Director of the Centre for Organized Matter Chemistry, and Principal of the Bristol Centre for Functional Nanomaterials at the University of Bristol, UK.
