\"\"<\/p>\n

Michael Zulch of the Larkin Lab<\/a> was selected for a summer internship with Joyn Bio<\/a> as part of the Training Program in Synthetic Biology & Biotechnology (SB2)<\/a>. Joyn Bio is a joint venture between Ginkgo Bioworks<\/a> and Leaps by Bayer<\/a>, founded to solve the urgent agriculture challenges threatening our global food supply and environmental health using the combination of synthetic biology and beneficial microbes.<\/p>\n

Joyn Bio aims to provide growers with new and sustainable solutions to feed and nourish the world. Michael will be working on their primary project: engineering crop-colonizing microbes that can fix atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use to grow. If successful, these bacteria will help alleviate our dependence on synthetic fertilizers and their environmental impacts.<\/p>\n

Congratulations, Michael!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
