European Conference on
Synthetic Biology (ECSB):
Design, Programming and
Optimisation of Biological
Systems
Sant Feliu de Guixols – Spain
24-29 November 2007
Synthetic Biology lies at the interface of a variety of disciplines ranging from biology through chemistry, physics, computer science, mathematics and engineering. Although undeniably multidisciplinary, this nascent field of research has tended to be locked within the narrow remits of each of its constitutive disciplines. The specific overarching aim of this conference is to generate new vigorous interactions between the disciplines that impinge (and contribute to) Synthetic Biology.
ECSB 2007 will draw on international expertise from, on the one hand, Biological disciplines (e.g. Genomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics, etc.), and on the other hand, Computational and Engineering experts to present a balanced overview of the very latest key technologies and research advances as pertaining to Synthetic Biology in general and the quest for minimal living forms in particular.
