September took us around the world. 🌎
From conferences, seminars, and volunteering to workshops and conversations with researchers, the team has been busy connecting with the global biotech community.
A few highlights from the road👇
Bigger than CRISPR?
Gene-editing techniques could soon allow researchers to replace entire genes and engineer complex cellular circuits — if the systems can be delivered safely into cells.

It was a busy week for Twist in Türkiye, with two great events & a memory game:
• “Chip to Gene” workshop at Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center
• 10th International Congress of the Molecular Biology Association of Türkiye at Acibadem University in Istanbul
