Twist Bioscience to accelerate synthetic biology research in Australia

US-based Twist Bioscience and the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology (CoESB) have announced a partnership that will enable CoESB members and partners to order a wide range of Twist products that facilitate research and development. Twist Bioscience’s proprietary DNA manufacturing process, quality control and scale will play an increasingly important role in the development of new synthetic pathways, aiding in the development of novel organisms that will provide a cleaner and greener future. This is one of the benefits of such a partnership. As the CoESB continues to ramp up its research and assist startup companies by allowing the usage of CoESB facilities, having Twist as a partner ensures that access to DNA is not a barrier to success. The ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology was established in 2020 with the goal to provide 21st century solutions to global agricultural, food production, manufacturing, healthcare and environmental challenges.
