As reported by Pharma Express, scientists at the University of Glasgow have received £4m from the UK Government to help them develop ‘designer bacteria’.
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has distributed funds through the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council with the overall aim of making the UK a world leader in research and application of synthetic biology.
The cash boost will be invested to help scientists and researchers in the Institute of Molecular, System and Cell Biology to develop tools for the production of useful strains of micro-organisms. The Glasgow scientists will use a family of enzymes called recombinases which act as molecular ‘scissors and glue’ for DNA. These will allow the researchers to cut the strands at precisely defined positions and ‘paste’ a new sequence into the gap. The researchers will also use the technology to ‘teach’ cells to count and keep a record of the number they have counted up to in their DNA.
The £4m for the project, which is being led by Prof Stark and his colleagues Dr Sean Colloms and Dr Susan Rosser, will also fund researchers at Aberdeen, York and Nottingham Universities.
David Willetts, Minister for Universities and Science, said, “Synthetic biology could provide solutions to the global challenges we face and offers significant growth opportunities in a range of important sectors from health to energy. However, the commercialisation of basic science is largely untapped. This investment will help to ensure that academics and industry can realise its full potential.”

As reported by the BBC News, two scientists have been awarded the Millenium Technology Prize for their scientific contributions to improving the quality of human life and in encouraging sustainable development.
Awarded once every two years, the Millenium Technology Prize is the largest technology prize in the world. This is the first time the prize has been awarded to two scientists, Dr Shinya Yamanaka and Linus Torvalds. The two winners split the 1.2m euros prize.
Dr Shinya Yamanaka
Dr Shinya Yamanaka is a stem cell scientist who discovered how to program human cells to mimic embryonic stem cells. These cells can become any cell in the body. This is called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. The scientists discovery will now contribute to the development of regenerative medicine.
Linus Torvalds
Linus Torvalds created a new open source operating system for computers.

As reported by Sky News, the world’s leading premium drinks company, Diageo has announce that it will be investing £1bn into whisky production which could create hundreds of jobs in Scotland.
Diageo’s £1bn investment will be over a 5 year period and will instantly create 100 new jobs in Scotland. A new distillery in Speyside will then be built which could potentially create even more jobs. The investment will also be used to extend 28 of their existing distilleries and build more new warehouses in which to store the whisky. As a result, Diageo plan to increase their whisky production by 30 to 40 per cent.
In addition to the full time jobs created at the distillery, the investment is expected to create 250 construction jobs. Diageo already currently employees approximately 4,000 people.
Diageo is the largest manufacturer of Scotch whisky and holds one third of the market. Over the past 5 years the
company has experienced great success with sales soaring by 50 per cent. Whisky accounted for a third of their gross profit in 2011.
