FREE event, please call 0845 345 1235 to book tickets.

Synthetic biology is an emerging area of scientific research at the interface of biology, chemistry and engineering. The research promises cheaper and faster routes to drugs, biofuels, and new materials for medical applications.

However, synthetic biology also provokes controversy because it aims to 'engineer biology'. Join Professor Derek Woolfson and Dr Ainsley Newson from the University of Bristol for a lively evening discussion.

This event comes  off the back of an AHRC part- funded research network.
