Synthetic biology is a convergence of multiple fields that can generate both improved understanding of biological systems as well as cutting-edge biotechnology.

The establishment of UK centres focused on synthetic biology has massively increased the focus in synthetic biology, and there is a sizeable community working on a diversity of projects. There has been significant growth in research, combined with a number of companies within the biotech and pharma sectors that are incorporating synthetic biology technologies into their R&D programmes.  

This popular annual event is always very well-attended and attracts an international audience. The programme of this scientific meeting will explore the unique opportunities of research in a number of areas of synthetic biology, establishing likely future directions and facilitating discussion about appropriate strategies. It will provide an excellent framework for scientists and engineers to learn about burgeoning new areas of activity, including the engineering of microbial communities, microbial-plant interactions and applications for sustainable manufacture of materials, the circular economy and climate mitigation strategies.
