Synthetic biology is awesome, and no, it doesn’t just have to do with genetically modified organisms. Come learn about biobricks, DNA cloning, retroviruses, CRISPR, bioethics, synbio applications, and more! Not only will you be able to come up with the ideas for your very own DNA plasmid, but also you will be able to extract strawberry DNA. The class will be taught in hands-on stations by members of the award-winning Cornell iGEM (Genetically Engineered Machines) team. From space travel to smart cells to hydroponics – if there’s a problem out there, synthetic biology has a solution!
