Following the success of the past four editions of the VIB conference Genome Engineering and Synthetic Biology (GESB), we’ve strategically pivoted to focus our upcoming meeting more on synthetic biology. This shift enables us to explore and delve deeper into the dynamic realm of synthetic biology, addressing the latest trends and applications in this rapidly evolving field.

This conference will bring together experts from academia and industry who will present their most recent discoveries during the following sessions:

• Engineering synthetic molecules

• Engineering pathways

• Engineering tissues

• Engineering ecosystems

• Machine learning/AI

• New technologies (DNA/RNA synthesis for therapeutics)

The 7th Applied Synthetic Biology in Europe (ASBE VII) is organised by the European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB) Bioengineering and Bioprocessing Division and the EFB Microbial Biotechnology Division. The event will be held on 6-8 November 2024 in Brno, Czech Republic.

The upcoming summit, themed "Shaping Tomorrow: Innovations in Biotechnology and Bioengineering on a Global Scale" is poised to bring together a diverse cohort of researchers, scientists, biotechnologists, academicians, industry leaders, policymakers, and delegates across various disciplines. The aim is to foster discussions on the latest discoveries and emerging trends within the expansive realms of bioengineering and biotechnology. This forum provides a unique opportunity for the exchange of knowledge and the cultivation of novel ideas.

The conference will center around the theme “From Cells to Solutions: Advancements in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Therapies” . The term "tissue engineering" emerged approximately three decades ago, highlighting a ground breaking concept focused on the regeneration of neo tissues using biomaterials and growth hormones. Despite recent technological strides, the persistent lack of organ donors leads to thousands of annual fatalities. Tissue engineering, as a subspecialty of regenerative medicine, holds immense promise as a therapeutic approach, offering potential solutions to the limitations of artificial organs and organ transplantation. Its multidisciplinary nature positions it as a transformative field capable of replacing or repairing damaged tissues and organs.

Natural living materials grow following information stored in their genetic code. They also undergo continuous and autonomous re-modeling in response to external factors and adapt their performance to new solicitations. Such properties are desirable in many technical materials, but they are difficult to realize with non-living matter. The Fourth International Conference on Engineered Living Materials (ELMs) will gather the communities of material science, synthetic biology, biotechnology, and biophysics interested in programming and creating materials with life-like capabilities.

Synthetic Biology (SynBio) has become a rapidly developing area for tackling a large number of challenges in life science research. This is due to a combination of foundational advances in technologies such as large-scale DNA synthesis and new methods that allow integrating such raw synthesis power into engineering approaches, including genome wide small RNA regulation, dCas9-based regulation, and multiplexed genome engineering. Such fresh approaches fuel new types of biotechnological applications with immense impact on both fundamental science and society.

This course will be offered in both onsite and virtual format, with different modules available to each format, and will provide the best and most exciting novelties in the field and focus on exploiting tools and concepts of SynBio for multi-scale engineering of bacterial systems. The intensive schedule includes lectures by experts in the field, discussions, poster sessions, and, importantly, an experimental program.

Xperts Meetings invites all the participants across the globe to attend “International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology (BioMed-2024 – Hybrid Edition)” during on August 19-21, 2024, on Virtually by Zoom.

BioMed-2024 will include several plenary talks, keynote lectures, interactive sessions, academic discussions, oral and poster presentations, technical workshops and social events that will provide huge networking opportunities for the participants to share their experiences and new innovations on all aspects of Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology. The organizing committee will include leaders in the field of Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology and will guide the participants on the latest developments and emerging challenges in these fields.

The SynCell2024 international conference brings together researchers from all over the world to present the latest research results in bottom-up synthetic biology and the prospects for scientific and technological development.

The programme will include plenary sessions, parallel sessions and poster sessions.

Over the next decade, we will increasingly see the design and learn process being automated through artificial intelligence, thus laying the foundation for the automated scientist. This conference will see thought leaders from academia and industry introduce recent advances and future directions in the field. The target audience is both metabolic engineers and data scientists working on developing cell factories sustainability. Ample time has been allocated for discussions between metabolic engineers and data scientists to facilitate advances in the understanding of needs and opportunities in this field.

The Cell Free Systems Conference will provide a broad overview of the research and industrial applications in the field. This research encompasses a variety of fields and topics — including diagnostics, protein engineering, manufacturing, circuit design, synthetic cells, high-throughput characterization, fundamental research into chemistry of life, and other areas. The program is unique in that it focuses specifically on cell-free systems and all of the exciting ways they are being applied.

After a three year break, the Pseudomonas Grassroots Meeting (PGM) is back! An unique meeting, organized by PhD students for PhD students, that is intended for all our international Pseudomonas lovers.This years meeting will take place in the lovely city of Munich. We would like to welcome you at the Technical University of Munich from Thursday November 9th until Friday November 10th (2023).

Similar to the previous editions, the PGM will have a mixed program with keynotes of renowned speakers, short talks of PhD students and Post Docs, a poster session and opportunities for networking and exploring the city center of Munich. One special element of the PGM is the discussion session, where people with similar research focus come together in a small group and exchange tips & tricks on the tools and methods they use whilst working with Pseudomonas in their labs.

The 2023 International Conference on CRISPR Technologies will focus on the latest advances in the genome editing field, bringing together key stakeholders with aligned interests across the spheres of academia and industry. The program will feature talks across many facets of this field, including the optimization of safe and effective DNA, RNA, and epigenetic editing technologies; the continued discovery and optimization of naturally-occurring CRISPR and non-CRISPR enzymes; the development of precision technologies capable of generating nucleotide- or kilobase-scale edits; and overcoming barriers to realizing the full potential of each of these tools.

This conference series is organised under the auspices of the Microbial Biotechnology Division of the European Federation of Biotechnology. They address a topic that is instrumental in meeting many societal needs, including food and feed processing, biopharmaceuticals and vaccines production, and biobased production of chemicals. Consequently, there is a continuous need for new production platforms that can deliver higher quality protein products in a more sustainable ‘greener’ way.
