From Genomics to Synthetic Biology
This year, Georgia Tech and Emory continue the tradition of biennial International Conferences in Bioinformatics, bringing together leading, world-renowned researchers in genomics and bioinformatics to present recent advances in the field and to discuss open problems. The 8th Conference called "From Genomics to Synthetic Biology" will cover the latest developments in the field from genomics to systems biology.
Also continuing the tradition that began in 2009, the conference will feature a prestigious Margaret O. Dayhoff lecture:
