The Biochemical Society and the Bristol BioDesign Institute are working together to organise this year’s Synthetic Biology UK meeting, which will take place in Bristol on 6-7 November.
Registration is now open. The deadline for submitting abstracts (and for early registration) is Wednesday 6 September 2023.
Synthetic biology is a maturing field at the confluence of the biosciences, physical sciences, information technology, and engineering and is rapidly beginning to demonstrate valuable solutions to some of our most pressing global challenges in healthcare, agriculture, sustainability and the environment.
SBUK 2023 will bring the synthetic and engineering biology communities together in Bristol, a city with a rich and long-standing history in engineering and a vibrant research community in synthetic biology, to share recent scientific advancements across the field. Conference themes will include biomolecular design and engineering; cell and system-level design; synthetic and minimal cells; data-centric bioengineering, and applications across industry.
The diverse and inclusive programme will include opportunities for networking, and an emphasis will be placed on ensuring the event offers early career researchers with the vital opportunities needed to build their wider research networks with leading experts in the field, as well as gain insights into careers in industry, SMEs, policy, academia and innovation delivery.
Confirmed speakers include: Prof Patrick Cai, Prof Tanja Kortemme, Dr Gitta Neufang, Prof Andreas Plückthun, Dr David Riglar, Prof Susan Rosser, Prof Petra Schwille, Prof Seraphine Wegner, Prof Julius Lucks, and Dr Nicole Wheeler.
