Youth SynBioSG Scientific Symposium (YS3)
From mRNA vaccines to cultured meat, we are already reaping the benefits of synthetic biology and its applications.
But as we navigate a world shaped by both COVID-19 and the ongoing climate crisis, how else can synthetic biology help address society’s most pressing issues? What role can the youth play in advancing innovations in synthetic biology?
Discover the answers to these burning questions at the Youth SynBioSG Scientific Symposium (YS3)! With the theme “Synthetic Biology and our future”, YS3 aims to equip the youth on the tools needed to understand the basics of Synthetic Biology and discover how the field is shaping our future.
Organised by the Society for Synthetic Biology (Singapore) (SynBioSG) and in partnership with the NUS Synthetic Biology for Clinical and Technological Innovation (SynCTI) and the Singapore Consortium for Synthetic Biology (Sinergy), YS3 will be held on 22 June 2022, 8:30 am – 6:00 pm at 28 Medical Drive at the National University of Singapore.
Register for YS3 HERE. Limited tickets available!
A registration fee of $15 will be charged for students, and $25 for all other attendees. This fee is inclusive of lunch, snacks, and one year of SynBioSG membership.
