      <image:caption>Dr. Mads Kaern is a Professor at the University of Ottawa in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and cross-appointed in the Department of Physics. He has been part of the Synthetic Biology community since the early 2000s and started working in the field with Dr. James Collins on sources of "noisy" signals in gene expression and the engineering of programmable cell behavior by creating "plug-ins" for interfacing synthetic gene networks and natural signaling pathways. His NSERC-funded Synthetic Biology research uses an integrated genetic network engineering approach to study gene regulatory processes and develop artificial gene control systems. Dr. Mads Kaern initiated the uOttawa iGEM undergraduate training program and is the Co-Founder and CEO of Biogroupe Canada. He is also a member of the Cancer Therapeutics Program at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, and the Regional Genetics Program at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News HOLDER - Quick Chat: Professor Dr. Rebecca Shapiro</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dr. Rebecca Shapiro is an assistant professor at the University of Guelph, in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. She’s been at the University of Guelph since January of 2018, and runs a research group here where they study the genetics of fungal pathogens. Their research is centred around understanding the important genetics and biology of human associated fungal pathogens. They interface with the synthetic biology world by developing, optimising, and tinkering with new tools that manipulate the genetics of pathogens in order to better understand their biology, how they cause disease, and how they respond to antifungal drug treatments. They develop CRISPR based tools that are used to functionally manipulate the genomes of different fungi, and from there, address big questions in how genetics play a role in the biology of these organisms.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Kevin Chen is the co-founder and CEO of Hyasynth Bio. He completed his Honors Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at Queen's University and went on to start up Hyasynth Bio. Hyasynth Bio is a synthetic biology company that specializes in creating strains of yeast that produce cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant, two of the most popular being THC and CBD. Cannabinoids have applications in nutritional, pharmaceutical, and recreational-use products. Since Hyasynth specializes in engineered yeast, their platform is adaptable, efficient, and scalable. The yeast is grown in fermenters and fed sugar and water over the course of a few days, after which the end product is extracted and purified. The cannabinoids can be included in a variety of products including pills, oils, and topical formats. The goal of Hyasynth is to customize combinations of cannabinoids and find rare cannabinoids that can be beneficial for a variety of diseases.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“I Love GMOs” display from Ginkgo Bioworks. Currently, there is still much skepticism and stigma around synthetic biology. However, I hope that through the continuous efforts of our synthetic biology community that we can openly say that we love GMOs! I think that this movement started by Ginkgo is truly inspirational and is a great trailblazer for making synthetic biology more understandable and approachable to everyone.</image:caption>

      <image:title>September 29 2025 webinar</image:title>
      <image:caption>As the summer season wraps up, it's time for us to celebrate our Summer of Synbio winners! We are hosting a webinar where you will get the chance to know more about the projects and ask questions. Please join us on September 29th for the Summer of SynBio (SoS) Awards Show at 12:30 pm ET. Don't miss the chance to learn more about the winning posters from this summer! Victor Boddy will present the uOttawa iGEM team's work on engineering skin bacteria as a potential for a mosquito repellant. Giselle McCallum will present engineered B. theta as an in vivo biosensor for intestinal malabsorption. Kathleen Hon will be presenting on high-throughput engineering of extracellular vesicles in S. Cerevisiae. Free, fun, and open to all - come celebrate science, summer, and community with us! ⛱ Register here: https://luma.com/h4p5p9af Thanks to all the people who applied to the SoS contest, we received great posters from a very passionate community.</image:caption>
