Lawrence's secondment in Japan

Lawrence has recently returned from a secondment at the Kuruma Lab, JAMSTEC, where he contributed to ACROPATH’s work on artificial cells for rapid bacterial diagnostics.

During his visit he also attended the Cell‑Free Conference in Matsuyama, connecting with researchers advancing bottom‑up biology from around the world.

The exchange strengthened scientific links between the UK and Japan and will continue to shape ACROPATH research going forward.
