Research
Realizing the full promise of synthetic cells will take an enormous, well-coordinated research effort across many labs, countries, and disciplines. In the spirit of openness and international cooperation, we will highlight all research results from the Biotic community on this page as they are ready.

New projects in progress
Biotic and the community are pursuing several lines of work in synthetic cell engineering. As each produces results, its publications and data will appear here.
Protocols
Open, step-by-step methods behind our results, so others can reproduce and build on the work.
