This course aims to establish the key concepts underlying recent advances in the field of synthetic microbiology. Through examples of fundamental and applied issues, the conferences will illustrate how and why synthetic biology approaches can (i) contribute to understanding how living organisms work, (ii) generate microbial strains that are improved in terms of efficacy and/or safety and (iii) open up new fields of research in biology. Conferences on history and ethics surrounding these fields of investigation will address the question of the positioning of synthetic biology in society and in the evolution of research.
Attendance and participation: Attendance is required to all the events this week. If you have a prior engagement (interview, move, doctor appointment…), let us know well in advance by e-mail. We have invited speakers to interact with you. We/they expect many questions. Your participation will be evaluated.
Examination: Students will also be evaluated on the synthetic biology project they have developed (30 min oral + written report). The project will be evaluated on its originality, coherence/relevance, feasibility and mastery of the scientific context around the issue raised by the student.
Session 1 & Session 2 : F = 0,5 x report + 0,5 x oral presentation (the report corresponds to the synthetic biology project)
(report and oral presentation in French or in English depending on the student's choice)
