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 Shouโ€™s lab. The Shou Lab is exploring the use of artificial selection, also known as directed evolution, to improve โ€œcommunity functions.โ€ Some community functions are extremely useful, such as fighting off pathogens, synthesizing pharmaceuticals and degrading environmental pollutants.
