Networks in Synthetic Biology

In 2007, BBSRC, EPSRC, ESRC and AHRC came together to fund seven Networks in Synthetic Biology.

  PI

  Alistair Elfick, Alistair.Elfick@ed.ac.uk

  Facilitator

  Emma Frow, emma.frow@ed.ac.uk

• RosbNet: From robust synthetic biological parts to whole systems: theoretical, practical and ethical challenges

  PI
