EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new ...

In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions is crucial, but current methods are often slow and laborious. Now, Scripps Research scientists have ...

Directed Evolution (DE) is a method developed by Nobel laureate Frances Arnold to improve protein fitness for specific applications. However, DE can be less efficient when mutations show epistatic ...

Named PROTEUS (PROTein Evolution Using Selection) the system harnesses ‘directed evolution’, a lab technique that mimics the natural power of evolution. However, rather than taking years or decades, ...

INTEGRA Biosciences is inviting labs to leave manual pipetting behind and take their first steps into effortless automation with a new Lab Evolution competition for 2026. One forward-thinking ...
