We have decided to prepare a course on 'Introduction on Synthetic Biology'.
The aim of this course is diverse.
- First, is a way to organize the series of talks and lectures that we think should be taken by a given iGEM participant.
- Second, is a way to gather educational material focused on people that want to have a broader perspective of Synthetic Biology.
- Third, is a perfect starting point to whoever wants to take a step on this field.
The syllabus of this course is divided in three parts. There is a group of topics that need to be known by biologists (or 'life science' people), then a bunch of topics that need to be known by engineers (or 'technical' people) and, finally, some lectures on 'what' is syntehtic biology and some examples of it.
