Current Advances in the Field of Synthetic Biology to be Addressed at Synthetic Biology: Transforming Life Science Research & Discovery Conference & Exhibition
Westborough, MA (PRWEB) February 14, 2007
Beachhead Consulting and Informa Learning have created the Synthetic Biology Conference and Exhibition. This forum is designed for researchers and executives working in synthetic and systems biology technology and product development to discuss how their research can be applied to life sciences.
The Synthetic Biology keynote presentation will cover advances in technologies of biological information:
Keynote Speaker:
Noubar B. Afeyan, Ph.D., Flagship Ventures
Engineering Biological Systems:
Advances in Technologies for Reading, Modeling, Simulating and Writing of Biological Information.
Sessions will cover current advances in the field of synthetic biology and how these can be applied to benefit pharmaceutical and biotechnical manufacturers at many different levels.
Major Sessions:
Foundational Technology
This session will cover how synthetic biologists change the behavior of the cell by designing and rewiring the complex networks of genes inside the cell.
Protein Engineering
This session will discuss a few of the many different aspects of protein engineering.
Metabolic Engineering
This session discusses modeling efforts and technologies involved in programming and controlling metabolic pathways to produce biological substitutes for less desirable chemical processes.
Therapeutic Engineering
This session will present modeling efforts and cellular engineering efforts to develop better methods for drug development and delivery.
Cellular and Tissue Engineering
This session presents methods to model cellular behavior for successive synthetic biology approaches.
Government, Business and Regulatory Issues
This session will present current efforts within the synthetic biology community to produce standards for development and guidelines, centered around the efforts of a newly established international consortium on polynucleotide synthesis.
Synthetic Biology exhibit hall includes 5 companies in the field of synthetic biology. They are: sponsor and exhibitor Codon Devices & exhibitors BlueHeron Biotechnology, DNA 2.0, GENEART, and The Mathworks.
