How will synthetic biology and conservation shape the future of nature?
Synthetic biology promises to change the world in significant ways, yet it is
largely unrecognized
within the field of conservation. This conference will bring together the
synthetic biology and
the conservation practitioner communities to discuss the implications that
synthetic biology may
have for the natural world and conservation and develop new thinking and new
strategies to
cope with the potential challenges and opportunities.
April 9-11, 2013
Clare College
Cambridge, England
Sessions:
1. What is synthetic biology and what does it have to do with conservation?
2. What is biodiversity and how might it be affected by synthetic biology?
3. The practice of conservation and how it might be affected by synthetic
biology
4. Implications of synthetic biology for wider social and economic change
relevant to future
conservation
5. What aspects of synthetic biology should conservationists worry about and/or
be excited
about? And what areas of conservation should synthetic biologists worry about
and/or be
excited about?
6. The public landscape of synthetic biology and conservation - how can we move
forward?
