Synthetic Biology
|
There is broad agreement even among science and engineering institutions that societal research is crucial for the responsible development of synthetic biology. In response to this need, on 4-6 November 2014, in Tempe, AZ, a workshop brought together 115 interdisciplinary participants representing academia, industry, government, and nonprofits to explore and articulate research agendas in the societal aspects of synthetic biology. This site includes videos from the workshop; posters and 2-page papers on research agendas in the societal aspects of synthetic biology; and workshop outputs, including reports, brief written reflections, and interviews with selected participants.
