Synthetic Biology, Monday 25th March

[Alistair MacDonald]

The next Super Monday event is organised around the theme of synthetic
biology, and the new market it will create for the North East IT
community. The evening will be in two parts, a series of talks
followed by a panel discussion.

There will be several invited speakers talking about all aspects of
syn-bio, everything from wordpress plugins for describing designer
bacteria to bacteria that repair cracked concrete, cybernetic robot
lobsters and syn-bio-inspired installation art. The panel discussion
will explore ethics, possible social impacts, and the range of IT
services that the syn-bio sector would love to out-source to you.
Syn-bio has been earmarked by the government as an area for investment
and as an economic driver and given a £20M government investment.
There is an opportunity for everyone from graphics artists to games
engineers to website devs to get involved, have a lot of fun and
perhaps make some money doing it.
