Summer Course on Synthetic Biology in Valencia, Spain

Thinking of Synthetic Biology (SB) as a new field of technology in the intersection of biology and engineering, the importance of attracting and training new researchers in this discipline becomes evident. With this objective, Institute Cavanilles of the Universidad de Valencia and Intertech Group of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, two of the TARPOL partners, have organized Summer Course on Synthetic Biology. This activity will be developed from two sides: training and motivational. For this reason, the program will combine the expertise of the organizers to train scientists from an interdisciplinary perspective, in order to offer a range of activities for young researchers from a wide range of fields. Summer Course on Synthetic Biology conference also includes lectures by the leading scientists of this new discipline on the constitutive principles underlying SB, which will allow attendees to see and understand the great possibilities of this new scientific area.
