Genome Engineering and Synthetic Biology (3rd edition)

A VIB TOOLS & TECHNOLOGIES CONFERENCE

Genome Engineering and Synthetic Biology are revolutionizing Life Sciences. Driven by advances in the CRISPR-toolbox for rapid, cheap, multiplex modification of genomes and breakthroughs in DNA synthesis technologies, the pace of progress enabled by these tools in the last years has been breathtaking.

The 1st and 2nd Genome Engineering and Synthetic Biology: Tools and Technologies meeting (GESB) in September 2013 and January 2016 were a roaring success and we are pleased to announce the 3rd edition of GESB in picturesque Bruges in January, 2018.

The conference will look at emerging tools & approaches in the field of:

- CRISPR and Synthetic Biology Tools
- Gene and Genome assembly
- Targeted Genome Engineering and Design
- Genetic Circuits and Regulation
- CRISPR Screens

The symposium will bring together some of the most highly regarded Academics and Companies in the world with novel technologies in several sessions. In addition to a great scientific and technology program, the conference will provide ample opportunities to network during the breaks, poster sessions, the conference dinner and our ‘Meet the Expert’ session!

EARLY BIRD DEADLINE: DEC 14 2017
FINAL DEADLINE: JAN 11 2018
