ACS iGEM special issue

practice sessions

iGEM 2013 has come to a close and you are now all members of AlumniGEM! You have all created great projects over the iGEM season and many of them deserve to be written up and submitted as peer reviewed research communications. To start this process and help many of you write what may be your first paper, we have organized a special issue of ACS synthetic biology for iGEM projects. See here for details and what you need to put your manscript together.

ERASynBio promotes the robust development of Synthetic Biology by structuring and coordinating national efforts and investment.

ERASynBio stimulates and tackles the interdisciplinary nature and immaturity of the field by offering training and educational possibilities, establishing an interdisciplinary advisory board and inviting observers of other funding organisations. Tight collaboration between academia and industry aiming to fertilize the innovation process is occuring on several levels. To adhere to ethical, legal and societal aspects as well as to technical issues like standardisation and infrastructure development ERASynBio is tracing the ongoing work and research on these framework conditions, integrating them in its strategic documents and activities.
