The DIM BioConvS Innovation Day 2024, taking place on November 28th at the Regional Council of Île-de-France in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, represents a crucial event for the future of synthetic biology and biotherapy. Organized by the DIM BioConvS (Domaine d’Intérêt Majeur Bioconvergence pour la santé), this event aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing together researchers, companies, and innovation platforms to explore the latest advancements and opportunities in these dynamic fields.

The Innovation Day focuses on bridging the gap between synthetic biology and biotherapies, particularly those targeting the microbiome. This year’s event will showcase how innovations in synthetic biology can drive the next generation of therapeutic solutions. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in short talks, innovation pitches, and a poster session that will highlight cutting-edge research and technologies. The event is designed to promote direct interactions between academia and industry, enabling researchers and businesses to connect and explore potential partnerships.

One of the key highlights of the day will be the “village of stands,” which will feature local companies and research platforms, providing a comprehensive view of the Île-de-France region’s scientific innovations. Participants will have the chance to engage with these exhibitors, learn about their latest developments, and explore potential collaborations. Whether attending the short talks or visiting the stands, participants can expect a day rich in information and networking.

The Paris Biofoundry’s involvement in this event underscores its ongoing commitment to advancing the field of synthetic biology and supporting the development of biotherapeutic solutions. By participating in such collaborative platforms, the biofoundry continues to play a critical role in driving the adoption of biofoundry technologies, which streamline the process of bioproduction and enhance the scalability of therapeutic applications.

At the Innovation Day, the Paris Biofoundry will contribute to discussions on how biofoundries facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration between synthetic biologists, biotechnologists, and clinicians. As biofoundries become increasingly vital for advancing therapeutic research and industrial applications, the Biofoundry’s participation in events like this serves as a testament to its role in advancing the biotechnology ecosystem, offering invaluable insights into the development and deployment of biotechnological innovations.

This day of innovation and collaboration is an opportunity to engage with leaders in synthetic biology and biotherapies, share ideas, and form lasting partnerships. The event’s focus on microbiome-centered biotherapies and synthetic biology innovations is particularly relevant, as the microbiome is increasingly recognized for its critical role in human health. By showcasing innovations in both research and application, DIM BioConvS Innovation Day 2024 is set to be a key event in shaping the future of biotechnological research and therapeutics.

On October 23rd, at 10:45 AM (Paris Time), we are thrilled to announce that Stéphane Lemaire, Director of Paris Biofoundry, will be speaking on the exciting panel:

“The New Tools that Will Empower the Next Generation of iGEM Teams.”

The iGEM Jamboree is a landmark event in the synthetic biology community, gathering the brightest minds and innovators from around the world to push the boundaries of science. This panel will delve into how emerging technologies—spanning software, automation hardware, DNA synthesis, and AI—are transforming the field and directly addressing key challenges faced by both iGEM teams and the broader scientific community.

Key Discussion Points:

• Bridging Academia, Industry, and Education: iGEM teams represent the future of synthetic biology, and the core challenges they face are mirrored across academia and industry. The panel will discuss how the alignment of new technologies can overcome these obstacles.

• Emerging Tools to Empower the Next Generation: From AI-driven tools to advanced automation hardware and more efficient DNA synthesis, the panel will explore the technologies that are critical to advancing the synthetic biology landscape. These tools can directly benefit iGEMers by making research and experimentation more accessible, accurate, and scalable.

• The Role of Biofoundries: Stéphane Lemaire will focus on the pivotal role of biofoundries, including Paris Biofoundry, in supporting iGEM competitions. Biofoundries integrate cutting-edge automation, data-driven design, and advanced tools to accelerate synthetic biology research. These infrastructure platforms help reduce the barriers to entry for young scientists, providing them with state-of-the-art equipment and support to turn their ideas into groundbreaking projects.

The Paris Biofoundry, as a key player in this ecosystem, is committed to fostering innovation and collaboration. We believe that empowering the next generation of synthetic biologists with better tools and technologies will drive solutions to global challenges, from healthcare to climate change.

Meet the Expert Panelists:

Alongside Stéphane Lemaire, you’ll hear from esteemed leaders in synthetic biology:

• Kennedy McDaniel Bae, Head of Opentrons for Education at Opentrons, who will discuss how automation hardware is transforming lab workflows and increasing efficiency for teams.

• Traci Haddock, Director of Community at Asimov, focusing on the importance of fostering collaborative communities in synthetic biology and enabling access to cutting-edge biotechnologies.

• Jake Wintermute, Developer Evangelist at Ginkgo Bioworks, who will share insights on the integration of AI and DNA synthesis in enabling rapid prototyping and scalable innovation.

Together, they will explore how we can get better tools into the hands of the next generation of iGEMers, empowering students to make groundbreaking discoveries.

Date: October 23rd
Time: 10:45 AM (Paris Time)
Location: iGEM 2024 Jamboree (Virtual & In-Person)
