About the Conference

IET BioSysBio 2008 is primarily aimed at graduate students, post-docs and junior faculty working in biology and biotechnology.

Following the very successful BioSysBio 2007 event held in Manchester, The IET BioSysBio 2008 will again bring together the best young researchers working in Synthetic Biology, Systems Biology and Bioinformatics, providing a platform to hear and discuss the most recent scientific advances and applications in these fascinating fields. The IET BioSysBio 2008 will also provide a focus on researcher training, with a series of hands on workshops integrated into the main programme.

It is the organisers' intention to provide a unique platform for graduate students and junior faculty to present to their peers via a series of short 10-20 minute presentations. Sessions will be chaired by leading experts who will also discuss their own work. A specific session will highlight some of the European entries in the International Genetically Engineered Machines competition (iGEM).
