Submit an abstract today for the Synthetic and Systems Biology Summer
School & Workshop (SSBSS 2017):
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ssbss2017
The Synthetic and Systems Biology Summer School is the leading Summer
School for sharing the state-of-the-art developments and achievements made
in the fields of synthetic and systems biology.
The School and Workshop will take place July 17-21 at the Robinson College,
University of Cambridge, England, UK.
The School and the Workshop is chaired by Massimo Gulisano and Giuseppe
Nicosia, University of Catania - Italy, and Steve Oliver, University of
Cambridge, England, UK.
Submissions not accepted for talks will also be considered in the poster
sessions.
SSBSS 2017 will focus on advances in the science and technology emerging
from the fields of synthetic biology, systems biology, genome synthesis and
genetic engineering.
The School and the Workshop will highlight new tool development, as well as
the application of these tools to diverse problems in biotechnology,
computational medicine, molecular biology including therapeutics,
industrial chemicals and biofuels, natural products, and agriculture.
If you are engaged in above cited topics that you believe can impact the
state of the science and technology you must consider submitting.
GOAL
Given the rapidity with which this field moves, it is challenging for both
newcomers and experts alike to stay updated with all of the latest
advances.
The goal of this summer school and workshop is to bring together scientists
from academia and industry with diverse but relevant expertise in a setting
conducive to discussion of new results and potential collaborative efforts.
Invited talks will cover a wide range of topics ranging from fundamental
basic science through to applications.
Attendees of this workshop will have the opportunity to hear about the
latest findings in this fast-paced field and to establish collaborations
with scientists who have complementary expertise.
TOPICS
Sessions integrate the recent achievements made in the fields of synthetic
biology, systems biology, biochemical engineering, synthetic enzyme,
evolutionary engineering, integrated omics, tools and methods, and emerging
techniques, healthcare, biofuels, chemicals and materials, biologics,
microbial and mammalian systems, and other disciplines and applications.
Submissions should be related to the following areas of synthetic biology,
systems biology, genome and genetic engineering:
Applications of Synthetic & Systems Biology
Biological Design Automation
Computational/Mathematical Modeling and Design
Computer Aided Design
