You're invited to join the second instalment in our exciting Discover public lecture series. These free events feature world-leading researchers from Macquarie University's Faculty of Science and Engineering, sharing their latest fascinating findings under the umbrella themes of Discover, Create and Innovate.
Discover - highlighting the cutting edge of research in astronomy
Create - showcasing everything from living seawalls to space satellites
Innovate - bringing new ideas like environmentally friendly solar cell production into practice
The second event in the series is Engineering a sustainable future with Animal Synthetic Biology.
Discover how the merging of biology and innovation is generating solutions that were once considered pure science fiction. Your host, Dr. Maciej Maselko, whose scientific journey began with research on the ecological effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill during his undergraduate studies, now leads a diverse research group in Applied Biosciences since 2019. In this talk, explore the potential of applying synthetic biology to animals; think of black soldier fly larvae turned into tiny biofactories that transform our food scraps into industrial enzymes.
