Bing AI Mode starts a separate baseline. Copilot remains a separate public engine and keeps its history; changes across the switch are not like-for-like growth.
How AI engines see them
All four engines recognize Tom Ellis as a synthetic biology researcher at Imperial College London. They agree he is Professor of Synthetic Genome Engineering and works on synthetic yeast genomes, engineered living materials, and programmable cells. Copilot adds details the others do not, including a PhD at Cambridge, work at Spirogen, research at Boston University under Jim Collins, and an affiliation with the Wellcome Sanger Institute. No engine fails to name him. The cited pages most often come from tomellislab.com and profiles.imperial.ac.uk, with aiche.org also appearing in two answers.
