This is due to a combination of foundational advances in technologies, such as large-scale DNA synthesis and new methods that allow integrating such raw synthesis power into engineering approaches. Those include genome wide small RNA regulation, dCas9-based regulation, and multiplexed genome engineering. Such fresh approaches fuel new types of biotechnological applications with immense impact on both fundamental science and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This course will be offered in both onsite and virtual format, with different modules available to each format<\/strong>. It will provide the best and most exciting novelties in the field and focus on exploiting tools and concepts of SynBio for multi-scale engineering of bacterial systems. The intensive schedule includes lectures by experts in the field, discussions, poster sessions, and, importantly, an experimental program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The course is directed to PhD students and early post-doctoral researchers active in molecular biology, biotechnology, systems biology, and bioengineering. The experimental focus will be on microbiological systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modules\/Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The course will offer onsite participation (wetlab practicals or computational practicals) and virtual participation (only computational practicals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When submitting your letter of motivation please select virtual or onsite attendance, and as such please note the difference in modules and activities available. Kindly note, onsite participants will be allocated to one of the below modules based on their submission preferences and will spend the entire practical session in the designated module.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Genome engineering with Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering (MAGE) <em>(wetlab, onsite participants)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CRISPR-based gene knock-down in mammalian cells <em>(wetlab, onsite participants)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RNA-wide tools for system control <em>(wetlab, onsite participants)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exploring sequence and length diversity on the directed evolution of complex Boolean logic promoters <em>(wetlab, onsite participants)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creating and applying data-driven models in biology for translation initiation engineering <em>(onsite and virtual participants)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The participants will learn about the design and workflow of Synthetic Biology studies and gain understanding about the possibilities and limitations of synthetic biology in different areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;By joining the course I discovered other research fields in SynBio and met great scientists among the lecturers and the participants. I gained a lot in terms of knowledge and inspiration that will influence my own research in the years to come.&#8221;<\/em> &#8211; Alberto De Maria, DTU Biosustain, Kongens Lyngby, Denmark<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;The &#8220;Synthetic biology in action: beyond standard metabolism&#8221; course offered me excellent practical and theoretical knowledge in the field. It also provided an invaluable networking experience with experts and peers.&#8221;<\/em> &#8211; Elena Vel\u00e1zquez Mu\u00f1oz, Centro Nacional de Biotecnolog\u00eda (CNB-CSIC), Madrid,

Eligible costs include (but are not limited to) fees for a babysitter or child-care facility and travel costs for a caregiver. Please note that priority will be given to early-stage researchers. There is a limited amount of funding available for the childcare grants and funds will be distributed amongst eligible applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds travel grant<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Applies to selected courses only.

The grant is restricted to PhD students and postdocs who conduct basic biomedical research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are eligible to apply for a travel grant, depends on when you received your university entrance qualification (e.g. Abitur, A-Levels, High School Diploma, Final State Examination):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; for PhD and MD students, as well as graduates, the university entrance qualification must not have been obtained more than 11 years ago at the time of the envisaged course<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; for postdocs, the university entrance qualification must not have been obtained more than 13 years ago at the time of the envisaged course<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Application<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may apply for financial assistance when submitting your motivation letter for courses. In your application, you will be asked to answer questions regarding why your lab cannot fund your attendance and how your attendance will make a difference to your career. Application for financial support will not affect the outcome of your registration application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds Travel Grant, there is a pre-application question during the motivation letter submission process, and if selected you will be requested to complete a standard form and documentation consisting of your travel expense estimation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientific organisers will select the recipients of registration fee waivers and travel grants during the motivation letter or abstract selection process. Results will be announced approximately 6 \u2013 8 weeks before the event start date, however for some events this may be delayed. Selection results do not impact your admission to the meeting. Selection for registration fee waivers and travel grants is based on scientific merit, your current work or study location, the reasons for needing financial support, and the impact this event will have on your career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Childcare grants will be allocated in the same timeframe (6-8 weeks before the event start date).
