- [About](https://synbio-sustainability-mcgill.ca/about/): ​The Sustainability and Synthetic Biology Conference was first born from the Synthetic Biology course at McGill University, BIEN 580, to inspire and connect driven undergraduate and graduate students to the growing field. The third edition will highlight students’ final Case Study Projects, and renowned guest speakers will represent the breadth of synthetic biology, from cutting-edge academic research to innovative startups and international communities. The public and presenters will be well-versed in bioengineering, synthetic biology, and biomanufacturing at different levels of training. We are excited to welcome you to the third edition of the Sustainability and Synthetic Biology Conference. Learn more […]
