Institute of Systems and Synthetic Biology

Imperial College London has established an Institute of Systems and Synthetic Biology, with the aim of bringing together the extensive, world-leading systems biology research from across Imperial, in the Faculties of Natural Sciences, Medicine and Engineering.

---

J. Craig Venter Institute

The J. Craig Venter Institute was formed in October 2006.Research focuses on human genomic medicine, infectious disease, plant, microbial and environmental genomics, synthetic biology and biological energy, bioinformatics, and software engineering.

---

SynBERC

The Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (SynBERC) is a multi-institution research effort to lay the foundation for the emerging field of synthetic biology. SynBERC’s vision is to catalyze biology as an engineering discipline by developing the foundational understanding and technologies to allow researchers to design and build standardized, integrated biological systems to accomplish many particular tasks.
