ETH Meets You at the AAAS 2020 in Seattle, Washington, USA!

ETH Zurich looks forward to meeting you at the world's largest general scientific gathering, the American Association for the Advancement of Science's Annual Meeting to be held in Seattle, USA, February 13 - 16, 2020. The university's presence at this conference includes a symposium on Synthetic Biology: Digital Design of Living Systems, as well as contributions to an IBM Research symposium on Geospatial Insights for a Sustainable Environment and a Flash Talk on Biodiverse Soil Ecosystems: Influencing Climate, Industry, and Life in the series, "Environment and the Lived Experience.

Synthetic Biology: Digital Design of Living Systems

Recent advances in synthetic biology allow for the digital design of living systems at an unprecedented scale and rate. ETH Zurich hosts this symposium at the AAAS 2020 in Seattle, Washington, USA to address the benefits, social and ethical implications of computational biosystems design technologies.
