2024 Synthetic Biology: Engineering, Evolution & Design (SEED) | AIChE

SEED is the leading technical event for synthetic biology — covering the field from its foundations to its commercial applications. Gain insight into next-generation development strategies from leaders in research and industry.

Important Deadlines: 
Abstract Submission Deadline: March 15, 2024
Early Bird Rates Deadline: April 29, 2024

Conference Grant Opportunity

We may receive funding to help sponsor some registrations for SEED 2024. U.S.-based students, post-docs, and early-career professionals are encouraged to apply.

In addition to hearing from amazing thought leaders, SEED 2024 will be an excellent opportunity to facilitate new collaborations and seek new funding opportunities. SEED is always one of the most exciting conferences I attend each year.

It is fair to say that all leading synthetic biologists are frequent, if not annual, participants in SEED. Many of us choose SEED as the venue to first talk about our novel results before publication.
