AAASynBio provide stakeholders with a platform for dialogue, networking & advisory on research, development, policies & regulations in #SyntheticBiology#SynBio
Our distinguished delegates, today is day 🖐🏽 of #ABBC2021
Wow! Time indeed flies when you’re having fun #CelebratingGains 🥳🥳
Do let us know what has been your key highlight from the discussions?, and What is your take home message?

Analogous to the programming of machines, synthetic biology applies genetic tools to engineer living cells and organisms. The opportunities that present us are simply - endless. #synbio 🧬
Join us now
Our keynote speaker Prof. Paul Freemont co-founder @imperialsynbio & @SynbiCITE presents on Synthetic Biology: Basics and Applications.
@PaulFreemont research interests span from understanding molecular mechanisms associated with human disease and infection using structural molecular biology techniques to the development of synthetic biology cell-free and platform technologies for healthcare applications.
.@SynbiCITE Centre aims to enable synthetic biology research in application areas like biosensors, biosynthesis, bioprocessing and metabolic and genome engineering and enable the translation of new synthetic biology technologies into start-ups, SME's and industry.
.@mkarembu urges for government representation under establishment of science, technology and innovation department that addresses challenges of implementating emerging technologies.@HamadiIddiBoga .@nacosti .@uonbi .@KenyattaUni
Kenyans need to be more receptive to emerging technologies and .@nacosti should play a key role in educating people. We need to see more strong science disciplines and forge multidisciplinary programs.
.@HamadiIddiBoga PS .@kilimoKE shares opening remarks on the importance of science to society. He urges that scientists continue to interact with each other and stakeholders in order to ensure we move together especially for emerging technologies like Synthetic Biology.
The PI .@dwmiano shares updates on National Research Fund (NRF)-funded synthetic biology research project titled “Developing low-cost diagnostic tools and biosensors for rapid detection of crop and human pathogens in Kenya”.
The synthetic biology project will primarily be applied in facilitating early detection of plant and human pathogens in a deliberate effort to improve surveillance and rapid response in crop protection and deployment of timely interventions to human epidemics/pandemics.
