Session ST1
ST1: Synthetic Biology
Wednesday, April 30, 2014: 7:00 PM-9:00 PM
Grand Ballroom D-E, lobby level (Hilton Clearwater Beach)
Conveners:
Joshua S. Yuan - Texas A&M University, College Station, TX and Steven D. Brown - Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN
New biological systems can be created and the advance of high-speed low-cost sequencing and gene fabrication. The advances in this new approach to designing and understanding these novel biological systems are presented by invited speakers.
