University of Bristol VC Prof Evelyn Welch visited the Max Planck Bristol Centre for Minimal Biology in the School of Chemistry on 30 June.
Evelyn spoke with Centre Director Imre Berger, BBI Director Dek Woolfson and researchers including EPSRC-MPBC Doctoral Fellow Rafael Moreno Tortolero. She said it was “wonderful” to hear about the work being undertaken by the team, including research on silk, ALS, synthetic vaccines, protocells and artificial enzymes.
“Thank you to the Berger, Mann and Woolfson groups for demonstrating what happens when you share facilities and ideas so openly and effectively”, she said, adding: “I learned so much and look forward to the next visit”.
