This course will focus on equipping students with hands-on experience on cutting-edge SynBio tools, while supported by lectures from across the field: discussing different aspects of the engineering cycle that also highlight how those are converging towards a better understanding of biology. The programme of this course involves different disciplines relevant for SynBio, such as genetic engineering, cell biology and machine-learning.<br><br>In this course you will learn how they can be integrated to learn about biological complexity and especially how they can be used to design and engineer biological systems. We will focus on diverse natural organisms, including bacteria, eukaryotic organisms, and also synthetic cell-like systems. The schedule includes lectures by experts, student poster presentations and our proposed experimental program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>multiplex genome and plasmid engineering in bacteria<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>RNA tools for system-wide control in mammalian cells<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AI-based modeling approaches to predict and design gene expression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When submitting your letter of motivation, please select one of the three practical modules offered for the on-site course.<\/strong> Participants will be assigned to their preferred practical module and will participate in that module\u2019s activities for the entire duration of the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Practical 1: Multiplex genome and plasmid engineering (MAGE) in bacteria (<em>wetlab)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Practical 2: RNA-wide tools for system control in mammalian cells (<em>wetlab<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Practical 3: AI models for translation initiation engineering in bacteria (<em>computational<\/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 experimental and computational 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;The workshop felt like one of the most valuable weeks in my career. The incredibly dense schedule felt fun and easy in the incredibly warm and supportive environment that the organisers and EMBL created. It was a perfect environment to get to know peers and leaders in the field in both structured and informal settings. The course was a great space to learn, askquestions at every level of simplicity or complexity, and really grow as a scientist. I&#8217;m already using what I learned in the lab, and I imagine I will refer back to this experience frequently over the years to come&#8221;<\/em> \u2014 Frea Mehta, Technical University of Munich, Germany<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Excellent course in state-of-the-art facilities with exceptional speakers. I loved meeting and becoming friends with an international team of young scientists in the beautiful city of Heidelberg. It is an intense program but you are very proud of yourself and your teammates by the end of it! The organisers and trainers go above and beyond to provide you the best experience.&#8221;<\/em> \u2014 Louie Destouches, University College London, UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
