Global Synthetic Biology Market Expected to Reach USD13.4 Billion in 2019! And Europe is expected to be the largest driver in the development of this field. The Synthetic Biology Congress will be opened by a keynote address from Paul Freemont, co-founder and co-director of the EPSRC Centre for Synthetic Biology and Innovation, Imperial College, UK. Imperial College just received a £2m grant for a new research and training facility. Commenting on the award Professor Freemont said: “The new DNA Synthesis and Construction Foundry will streamline and automate the ‘writing’ of DNA at an industrial scale so that tens of thousands of designed DNA constructions can be built and tested. We ultimately want this to become as straightforward as it might be to design a prototype new part for a car”

The Future is Here!
Across Europe governments are facing complex challenges as they prepare to incorporate the potential of personalised medicine into their existing health care systems at a time significant change. For example the decision of the UK government to sequence the genome of 100,000 NHS patients by 2017; the recent work of Japanese Scientists on “Stimulus-triggered fate conversion of somatic cells into pluripotency” and the purported arrival of the $1000 genome, all point to the imminent arrival of truly personalised medicine! It is against this background of advances that The Precision Medicine Congress takes place. It will examine not only the very latest research and developments in this field, but also the emerging challenges facing its implementation as it becomes more established. www.globalengage.co.uk/precision-medicine.html
