Prof. Dr. Krasnogor is a recognised leader at the interface of computing science and synthetic biology. Krasnogor holds a UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies in DNA data storage and is a Professor of Computing Science and Synthetic Biology at Newcastle University, where he leads the Interdisciplinary Computing and Complex Biosystems (ICOS) research group. ICOS advances the integration of computing, synthetic biology and nucleic acids nanotechnology and applies AI and computational tools to biotechnology and the life sciences. Krasnogor has a particular interest on advancing the biosecurity, traceability, and transparency of engineered biological assets, particularly within the realm of environmental biotechnology for environmental restoration and pollutant degradation bringing together publicly funded activities such as the UK’s Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre (EBIC) or Cyanobacteria engineering for restoring environments (CYBER) mission award with business innovators. To that end, Krasnogor founded GitLife Biotech Ltd, born from his work on digital twins, version control for cell engineering, and DNA-based data structures. As CTO, he leads efforts to enhance synthetic biology workflows with advanced digital tools including AI and cryptography to contribute to the security of the biological supply chains.
