We are pleased to announce the 2nd CSH Asia Synthetic Biology meeting which will be held at the Suzhou Dushu Lake Conference Center in Suzhou, China, located approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. The conference will begin at 7:00pm on the evening of Monday November 26, and will conclude after lunch on Friday November 30, 2012. The conference will include eight oral sessions and one poster session. Many talks will be selected from the openly submitted abstracts on the basis of scientific merit and relevance. Social events throughout the conference provide ample opportunity for informal interactions. Major Topics: 1. Microbial genome engineering 2. Genome engineering of eukaryotic system 3. Designing cellular circuits 4. Metabolic engineering for chemicals, fuels and materials 5.
