Synthetic Biology UK 2024
Hinxton Hall, Cambridgeshire, UK
Date: 27th and 28th November 2024
Synthetic and Engineering Biology stand at the forefront of innovation, combining advances in biosciences, physical sciences, computer sciences, and engineering. These fields take rigorous engineering principles and apply them to the design of new biological systems.
How can biology be harnessed to address global challenges in healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, and the environment? What are the latest scientific breakthroughs and advancements that will allow us to deliver on the promise of synthetic and engineering biology?
The BIOCHEMICAL SOCIETY welcomes researchers and students from across the UK to join and learn more about cutting-edge research in Engineering Biology, one of the UK government's five critical technologies for the future of UK research. Synthetic Biology UK will take place from 27th - 28th November 2024 in Hinxton, Cambridgeshire where participants will explore questions such as:
• How can synthetic biology help ensure global food security in the current climate crisis?
• How is engineering biology transforming the healthcare sector?
• How does synthetic biology intersect with the latest advancements in AI and machine learning?
• How can we design proteins, and even whole genomes, for new applications?
• How can we engineer cells from the bottom-up to act as miniature bioreactors or drug-delivery systems?
• How can we refine biological control systems and make engineering biology easier?
• How can we do all of this in an ethical, responsible and secure way?
