Advancing synthetic cell research for greener technologies 

The European Synthetic Cell Initiative (SynCellEU) is a professional network of excellent European research laboratories, institutions and companies that aims to advance synthetic cell research and accelerate the development of technologies resulting from this research.

We believe that this area of science, which explores how cells work, will contribute not only to understanding the principles that govern cellular life, but also to the emergence of new technological solutions, based on natural processes, which can address current global challenges in responsible production, food safety, health, clean energy, carbon capture, and environmental protection.

Research collaboration

Cells are so complex that the challenge of building synthetic cells cannot be met by a single research lab. Therefore, one of our main goals is to foster collaboration among scientists in synthetic cell research. In this section, we highlight recent collaborations in this area.

Our goal is to create a coordinated European innovation ecosystem for synthetic cell research, where scientists can join forces with industry to advance and upscale research and stimulate technologies in Europe. We work closely with our partners, who help us plan our strategy and actively campaign with us for a pan-European innovation ecosystem. Would you like to become a partner and help us shape the future of synthetic cell research in Europe? Get in touch with us today!
