Event Overview
Rapidly developing diagnostic tests, vaccines, and antivirals, and streamlining their production and delivery is critical to combating a pandemic. Scientists in the field of synthetic biology reengineer biological organisms and use their components to accomplish new tasks in medicine, manufacturing, agriculture, and more. With the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, synthetic biologists harnessed the diverse tools of their trade to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this virtual symposium, brought to you by The Scientist, an expert panel will present how synthetic biology accelerates the development of diagnostics, therapeutics, and the medicinal pipeline.
