2024 International Mammalian Synthetic Biology Workshop (mSBW) (19)

  • This is the only meeting specifically dedicated to mammalian synthetic biology and its applications
  • Benefit from creative input from colleagues working in allied fields
  • Develop new collaborations and build relationships for current and future projects
  • Identify trends that might influence your current research

Session Topics

  • Synthetic Gene Regulation Approaches Synthetic biology approaches to understand and control gene expression. These include regulation of chromatin, transcription, RNA processing, and protein production.
  • Synthetic Biology for Therapeutics New designs and engineering of biomolecular circuits for therapeutic applications and clinical translation.
  • Developmental, Multicellular, and Regenerative Systems Novel approaches to programming cell fate, and engineering multicellular communities for understanding cell-fate transitions including in development and cancer.
  • Foundational Technologies Tools to build the next generation of synthetic systems from molecules to cells.
  • Scalable Technologies and Artificial Intelligence High-throughput measurements of DNA, RNA and protein functions and computational approaches to large-scale synthetic biology.
  • Synthetic Biology for Cancer As specific mutations induce oncogenesis, synthetic biology tools can help understand the cascade of molecular events as cells transition into cancers.
