2021 Synthetic Biology: Engineering, Evolution & Design (SEED)

We will be performing maintenance Tuesday, April 21, 4pm ET to Wednesday, April 22, 12PM ET; login and payment services will be unavailable during this time.

SEED 2021 focused on advances in science, technology, applications, and related investments in the field of synthetic biology.

The conference looks at every step — from the synbio bench to society, including ethics, regulations, commercialization, education, and the science itself.
