Synthetic Biology Conference to be held in U.K.
Posted by Jeff under Biology, Synthetic Biology
The Advances in Synthetic Biology Conference will be held from March 6-7, 2008, in Cambridge, U.K. Synthetic biology is an emerging discipline that aims to meld engineering principles with biology in order to modify biological pathways in predictable ways. Ultimately, the design of artificial life may be possible. The field of synthetic biology still has broad definitions. Efforts can relate to transplanting a pathway from one organism to another, or even constructing entire circuits using regulators from diverse organisms. This conference appears to offer a compelling line-up of speakers and promises to be very interesting. Topics range from the ethical issues to genomic nanoprocessors.
