Seattle was recently identified as the fastest-growing life science market in the top 10 from 2014 to 2017, showing tremendous growth in collaborations between the research community and biotech companies.
Product Creation Studio โ in partnership with Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center’s Shou Lab โ is hosting an event based on their research of #microbial communities.
For this event, Dr. Li Xie and Dr. David Skelding will cover both the theoretical and practical progress in the current research conducted in Dr. Wenying Shouโs lab. The Shou Lab is exploring the use of artificial selection, also known as directed evolution, to improve โcommunity functions.โ Some community functions are extremely useful, such as fighting off pathogens, synthesizing pharmaceuticals and degrading environmental pollutants.
