Cafe Synthetique: SynBio and Open Technologies for Development

Café Synthetique is the monthly meetup for the Cambridge synthetic biology community with informal talks, discussion and pub snacks.

This month we’re focused on technologies that can be applied in international development and humanitarian contexts – what are the technical design challenges, regulatory issues and ethics surrounding synthetic biology and open hardware for development?
