International Workshop

on Control Engineering and Synthetic Biology

2019

Workshop photo.jpg



An International Workshop on Control Engineering and Synthetic Biology' will be held from the 9th to the 11th of September 2019 at Worcester College, Oxford. This event is supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), under projects EP/M002187/1 and EP/M002454/1.

Organisers: Guy-Bart Stan (Imperial College London), Antonis Papachristodoulou (University of Oxford), Harrison Steel (University of Oxford).

Description

Designing and implementing effective feedback control in living cells has the potential to dramatically change biotechnology. However, before this potential is realised, a number of theoretical and practical challenges must be addressed, which lie at the interface between control engineering and synthetic biology. This workshop will discuss both the challenges and the opportunities that Synthetic Biology offers. A specific focus will be on the “next grand challenges” the field of synthetic biology and how control engineering can address them. An exceptional group of speakers, world leaders in synthetic biology and control engineering, will present recent progress, identify challenges and share their vision of where synthetic biology is headed and how the control engineering community can contribute to delivering its promise.

  • Control Engineering Themes:

Modelling, analysis, and design of reliable synthetic circuits as well as regulation of synthetic processes.

  • Synthetic Biology Themes:

Challenges and opportunities for implementing designs and enabling effective synthetic regulation and control.

Additional Information

Posters

Everyone participating in the workshop is invited to bring a poster to display their work. Please include a poster title, author list, and abstract in your registration if you wish to present a poster. Poster boards are 120cm by 90cm (A0 Landscape), so please ensure your printed poster will fit within this area.

Delegate leaflet

The delegate leaflet containing our welcoming message, programme of talks, poster abstracts, and travel information will be posted closer to the workshop.

Projection

The aspect ratio of the projector screen is 16:9.

Twitter

If you use Twitter, please label your tweets with the hashtag #synbiocontrol2019 for easy searching and sorting.


Logistics

Location of the Workshop

The Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre, Worcester College, 1 Walton Street, Oxford, OX1 2HB. Upon arrival report to the Worcester College main lodge/entrance, and you will be directed to the conference centre from there or follow a map of the college.

Accommodation for Attendees

A wide array of hotel/accommodation venues are available in or near Oxford city centre. For cost-effective and proximal college accommodation we recommend checking University Rooms.

Travel Information

Worcester college is a 10 minute walk from Oxford Train Station, or a 5 minute walk from Oxford Central Bus Station. The train from central London takes approximately one hour. Bus transport is available from major London airports to Oxford. If you are flying into the UK from abroad, the most accessible airport is Heathrow (travel time to Oxford about 1 hour), which has regular bus transfers to Oxford.
