News Summary:

On July 23, 2026, the J. Craig Venter Institute received a $200,000 grant from the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to advance childhood leukemia treatment. This funding supports research demonstrating a significant reduction in the replication and propagation of leukemia cells from a mouse model of MLL leukemia under BAF knockout conditions, evidenced by a decreased number of colonies and a shift in colony morphology from blast-like to more differentiated, mature cells.

When Life Becomes Code: 6 Things That Will Change Everything Through Synthetic Biology

For millennia, humans were merely diligent yet passive observers of the universe. We observed its laws, classified its species, and submitted to existing biological limitations. Today, however, we stand at the dawn of a new civilization where biology is no longer merely destiny, but a matter of design.

Ancient marine life may be hiding in Antarctica’s Blood Falls

LA JOLLA, California—August 3, 2026—Blood Falls has long been one of Antarctica’s strangest landmarks: a red-stained outflow that spills from the face of Taylor Glacier into the cold, dry landscape of the McMurdo Dry Valleys. The color comes from iron-rich brine that has been trapped beneath the glacier, isolated from the outside world and periodically released into the polar desert.

J. Craig Venter Institute awarded $200,000 St. Baldrick’s Foundation grant to advance childhood leukemia treatment

The ability of leukemia cells from a mouse model of MLL leukemia to replicate and propagate itself was severely reduced in BAF knockout as indicated by the reduced number of colonies on the plate. Magnified inset showing also changes in colony morphology, from more blast like colony containing leukemia cells to differentiated colony containing more mature cells.

Tracking plastic pollution from source to sea: The final legs of our Togan expedition

The eXXpedition crew set sail for Pangai, on the island of Lifuka. We visited a landfill on the island and learned that it had never been properly lined. Without that barrier, waste has been leaching straight into the island’s groundwater for years, contaminating the communities only source of freshwater.

Tiny, abundant ocean alga shows how life thrives where sunlight and iron are scarce

LA JOLLA, California—June 22, 2026—Many ocean ecosystems have a “hidden green zone” below the surface where chlorophyll—an indicator of photosynthesis—reaches a local peak. Scientists call this band the subsurface chlorophyll maximum layer or SCML. It is dimmer than surface waters and is often shaped by nutrient gradients, making it an important, yet comparatively understudied, part of the ocean’s biological engine.

Free Flu Vaccines to Be Offered to Homeless People

Key Summary JCVI has recommended to make NHS pneumococcal and seasonal flu vaccinations available to those experiencing homelessness. This will provide them better protection and a chance to stay well through winter. Increasing vaccination cover among vulnerable groups can help protect the wider public by reducing the spread of flu.

The genie of synthetic biology is out, and with it comes power and peril

For the first time in about four billion years of life on the earth, one species is learning not just to read the book of life but to write new versions. Our quest to understand and explain the natural world has always carried a double consequence: every success also enhances our ability to change the world.

Study finds DNA carrying antibiotic resistance genes can remain functional after common lab decontamination steps

Tracking plastic pollution from source to sea: Tongatapu to Vava’U

This spring, I’ll be heading back to sea as part of the Global All‑Women Sailing Expedition, a ten‑leg research initiative sponsored and led by eXXpedition, focused on tracking plastic pollution from source to sea. The expedition spans the South Pacific and beyond, combining sailing, land‑based research, and community engagement to better understand where plastics originate, how they move through the environment, and how they affect both ecosystems and people.
