Synthetic Biology + NHLBI: Teaming Developers and Users Virtual Workshop

November 4 - 5 , 2024
Virtual
12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET

Description

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is hosting a virtual workshop on November 4-5, 2024, “Synthetic Biology + NHLBI: Teaming Developers and Users.” This workshop is a follow-on of a previous workshop held in May 2022, when participants identified opportunities for pursuing synthetic biological tools within the context of heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders. As a result, the NHLBI formally signed onto the Notice of Special Interest for Synthetic Biology for Biomedical Applications and is hosting this workshop to explore technologically-based solutions to improve HLBS health further. The goal is for these partnerships to address the opportunities within these disorders.

Registration closes October 28, 2024.
