As sustainable development faces mounting threats, a new generation of “goalkeepers” are pioneering new approaches to keep progress alive
Huge congratulations to Professor Lindsay Hall @hall_lab, who has been named as one of the UK’s 2025 Goalkeepers by @WIRED Consulting and The @gatesfoundation. Lindsay sits alongside other visionaries of global development, taking on the world’s biggest problems.

I am ecstatic to announce that I’ve been awarded a @wellcometrust Early Career Award! I couldn’t have done it without everyone who helped me along the way! I will join @Dunn_School to do some exciting science on efflux pumps for the next 5 years!

Thrilled we are now able to share our investigation into whether new AI protein design tools can fool DNA synthesis screening! 🥳 Was a privilege working with amazing folk at @Microsoft @TwistBioscience @idtdna @IBBIS_bio @RTX_News Raytheon @aclid @Battelle on this timely issue🧬
Identifying & mitigating an AI-enabled biosecurity vulnerability. Confidential effort on biosecurity red-teaming leads to distrib. of "patches" that bolster DNA synthesis screening. Article: https://t.co/zwI1hOK9xL Work continues. @MSFTResearch @TwistBioscience @aclid @EngBioRC

A project in my lab with @JessicaMABlair seeks to understand how efflux pumps can be used to improve organic solvent tolerance in industrial processes, and how this can be balanced against energy demands.

Have you seen that @oldjoeclock is blue? He is helping us highlight #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek! Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria becomes resistant to antimicrobial agents, meaning antibiotics become ineffective and increasing disease risk. https://t.co/1CBq65UU0O
