Colin Scott

I am a microbial biochemist and synthetic biologist. I completed my BSc in Genetics in 1996 at Aberystwyth in Wales and my PhD in 2000 at Sheffield University's Kreb's Institute in England. In 2004, I joined CSIRO to engineer enzymes to remove environmental pesticide contaminants. My research focuses on discovering, engineering and evolving microbes and proteins; using the incredible biochemical diversity of microbes as inspiration.
