MaxSynBio, a multi-disciplinary research network of labs from nine different Max Planck Institutes, kicks off today with a 3-day meeting and workshop held at the MPI-CBG. This research consortium aims to approach the field of Synthetic Biology from a fundamental perspective of basic research, taking a bottom-up approach towards understanding biology. The Hyman Lab is looking forward to working together with the 9 other labs in the network on this project over the next 6 years.
This consortium is funded by the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft and BMBF.
