About the session

The IET and leading innovation and knowledge centre, SynbiCITE have teamed up to bring you the IET / SynbiCITE workshop on Engineering Biology.

The UK government’s ongoing investment and support has thrust the UK into the leading position in the world of genetic engineering, second only to the US.

This seminar will showcase the ground-breaking developments in engineering in biology within the UK in the last decade spurred by a combination of deeper understanding of biological systems and significant advances in the proficiency in DNA sequencing and synthesis.
