4th International Synthetic & Systems
Biology Summer School
*Biology meets Computer Science &
Engineering*
July 17-21, 2017, University of Cambridge,
UK
W: http://www.taosciences.it/ssbss/

APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 31, 2017

DESCRIPTION & GOALS:
Recent advances in DNA synthesis have
increased our ability to build biological systems. Synthetic Biology aims at
streamlining the design and synthesis of robust and predictable biological
systems using engineering design principles and advanced algorithms. Designing
biological systems requires a deep understanding of how genes and proteins are
organized and interact in living cells: Systems Biology aims at elucidating the
cellular organization at gene, protein and network level using computational
and biochemical methods. The Synthetic and Systems Biology Summer School
(SSBSS) is a full-immersion five-day residential summer school at the Robinson
College, University of Cambridge, UK on cutting-edge advances in systems and
synthetic biology with lectures delivered by world-renowned experts. The school
provides a stimulating environment for students (from Master students to PhD
students), Post-Docs, early career researches, academics and industry leaders.
Participants will also have the chance to present their results, and to
interact with their peers, in a friendly and constructive environment.

CALL FOR POSTERS & TALKS:
The International Synthetic & Systems
Biology Summer School is especially aimed to provide a stimulating environment
for young researchers, Post-Doc and Ph.D. Students. They will have the
possibility to present the results of their research activities on the topic of
the summer school, and to interact with their scientific peers, in a friendly
and constructive way. Applicants may submit an abstract to present their
results. The abstract should be submitted before 31 March 2017. Suitable
space will be reserved to the applicants for showing their posters. The poster
must be written in English. For your poster, a board will be provided which
measures 90cm tall by 70cm wide. You need to print and bring with you the poster
to the school. Push tacks or Velcro adhesive will be provided at the conference
to mount your poster to the board.
POSTER & TALK SUBMISSION:
Applicant may submit a research abstract for
presentation using the Application Form. School directors and the Scientific
Committee will review the abstracts and will recommend for poster or short-oral
presentation. Abstract should be submitted by March 31, 2017. The
abstracts will be published on the electronic hands-out material of the summer
school.
