Given the applications that next gen sequencers can be used for, I though any budding synthetic biologists would be interested in this upcoming workshop on Bio-design Automation.

The First International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA)

will bring together researchers from the synthetic biology and design automation communities. The broad focus will be on concepts, methodologies and software tools for the automated synthesis of novel biological functions. A specific focus will be on the application of computational expertise from electronic circuit design to these areas.

Still in its early stages, the field of synthetic biology has been driven by experimental expertise; much of its success has been attributable to the skill of the researchers in specific domains of biology. There has been a concerted effort to assemble repositories of standardized components. However, creating and integrating synthetic components remains an ad hoc process. The field has now reached a stage where it calls for computer-aided design tools. The electronic design automation (EDA) community has unique expertise to contribute to this endeavor. This workshop offers a forum for cross-disciplinary discussion, with the aim of seeding collaboration between the research communities.

Topics of interest include:

Design methodologies for synthetic biology
Standardization of biological components
Automated assembly techniques
Computer-aided modeling and abstraction techniques
Engineering methods inspired by biology
