Application process
Applications are invited from graduate students, postdoctoral researchers
and industry professionals looking to use, or already using synthetic biology
and/or systems biology methods in their work. Prior experience
is not strictly required.

Applicants will be asked to submit a CV. We are also seeking to give participants a chance to discuss their own work with their peers and the speakers. As option, it is possible for each applicant to provide the abstract of a poster they would like to present at the school.
