Details

Curious about how scientists can reprogram living organisms to tackle challenges in medicine, sustainability, and technology? In this interactive workshop, we will dive into the fascinating world of synthetic biology‚ an interdisciplinary field where biology meets engineering. You'll learn how we can design and build biological systems with new functions, from bacteria that produce renewable fuels to cells that detect and treat diseases. Through hands-on activities and group discussions, participants will explore foundational techniques like gene editing and metabolic pathway engineering. Whether you're a science enthusiast or just interested in exploring new frontiers, this session will give you a glimpse into how synthetic biology is reshaping our future.
