The training was targeted at Biosciences Area’s Software Developers
JBEI hosted for a second year a wet lab boot camp targeted at software developers. Following last year’s success, the boot camp returned this time to include 10 software developers from across the Biosciences Area. It included participants from JBEI (Biological Systems & Engineering Division), Agile BioFoundry, DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI) and Berkeley Lab and Sandia National Lab departments.
JBEI collaborated with Engineering Biology Research Consortium (EBRC) at the launch of the “summer of synbio” at The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose this past week. The activity was part of the Building with Biology project, a nationwide effort to bring synthetic biologists and the public together at science museums across the US this summer.
JBEI volunteers Leanne Chan, Kosuke Iwai and Phil Gach connected with the public to de-mystify biological engineering and its growing relevance in everyday life. They shared synbio concepts through fun, hands-on learning kits and engaged in two-way conversations about building the future with biology.
