At Don Whitley Scientific we love to hear about the different applications and scientific disciplines in which our workstations are used. We recently came across a video of a presentation at the World Economic Forum in 2015. The clip is entitled: “Hacking exotic organisms and putting them to work“. Dr John Heap, who is an academic scientist and research group leader at Imperial College London, talks about harnessing diverse organisms including anaerobic bacteria, and realising the potential of synthetic biology for a variety of applications.
You will also see a very quick shot of Dr Heap using his Whitley Workstation!
For more information about Dr Heap and his work, here’s a link to the Heap Lab website.
