Welcome!
Welcome to the Laboratory for Chemical Synthetic Biology & Xenobiology, led by Professor Nediljko (Ned) Budisa, Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Chemical Synthetic Biology & Xenobiology at the University of Manitoba
Our Laboratory for Chemical Synthetic Biology & Xenobiology aims to create artificial biodiversity by engineering new genetic codes for molecular-level insights and innovative technologies.
Our work is strongly interdisciplinary at the intersection of fundamental research and transformative biotechnological applications. This interdisciplinarity unites chemists, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, biotechnologists, and biophysicists to engineer proteins via in vivo incorporation of noncanonical amino acids, supported by organic synthesis of bioorthogonal molecules.
