Revision as of 13:33, 26 October 2016

A Workshop on Control Engineering and Synthetic Biology will be held and 17th-18th July 2017 at the Royal Academy of Engineering - Prince Philip House, London. This event will be funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), under projects EP/I031944/1, EP/I032223/1 and EP/I03210X/1.

Description

Designing and implementing effective methods of control in a living cell has the potential to dramatically change biotechnology. However, before this potential is realised, a number of theoretical and practical challenges must be met. This workshop aims at covering both the challenges and the opportunities involved with this area. A specific emphasis will be put on the “next grand challenges” the field of synthetic biology will be facing over the next decade. To identify and discuss them we have put together an exceptional list of speakers, world leaders in synthetic biology and control engineering, that will be asked to give “enlightening talks” and share their vision of where synthetic biology is headed and how the control engineering community can contribute to delivering the promises made in this field.
