Synthetic biology is awesome, and no, it doesn’t just have to do with genetically modified organisms. There’s so much more we can do – space travel, smart cells, water filtration – if there’s a problem out there, synthetic biology has a solution. This class will be taught by members of the award winning Cornell iGEM team, which competes in a competition every year showcasing a product or research with a synthetic biology aspect. Come learn from us as we explore our past projects and what is to come in the future of synthetic biology! There will be hands on demonstrations and a discussion on bioethics.
