The mission of Synthetic Biology 4.0 is to bring together researchers who are working to:

  • design and build biological parts, devices and integrated biological systems
  • develop technologies that enable such work
  • place this scientific and engineering research within its current and future social context

The conference will be a coordinated effort between HKUST, Hong Kong University, and Chinese University. Hong Kong provides an ideal location to explore the commercialization of Synthetic Biology in Asia as well as the launching of regional research and educational programs. Further, the meeting will facilitate connections between researches and leaders in government, industry, and civic organizations.

It is expected that Synthetic Biology 4.0 will have 500-700 participants. An emphasis will be made on securing funding to bring students from around the world to Hong Kong.
