The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory will provide a two-week intensive Synthetic Biology Summer Course from August 2022 through July 2025 under a $515,458 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences.
The course aims to introduce scientists to synthetic biology through a combination of practical lectures, open-ended research projects, and seminars led by field experts. Participants will gain hands-on experience with techniques such as cell-free transcription-translation systems, modern cloning, computational modeling, and CRISPR-based genome editing. The highly interactive format integrates research and training as students collaborate on innovative projects. Each year, new modules will expose attendees to the latest technical breakthroughs and challenges in the multidisciplinary field of synthetic biology. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the course aligns with the NSF's mission to advance basic biological research and train the next generation of scientists.
