 ciplinary projects relevant to Synthetic Biology over 2015-16 to deliver s
 hared resources for the synthetic biology community. Up to nine 6-month pr
 ojects per year will receive £4k each\, with an additional £1k awarded o
 n completion for follow-on and outreach. The second round of applications 
 closes on 23 November 2015.\n\n"Apply Now >>>":https://www.synbio.cam.ac.u
 k/synbiofund/synbio-fund-info\n\nThe aim of the fund is to promote the dev
 elopment of Synthetic Biology as an interdisciplinary field at the Univers
 ity of Cambridge - to facilitate exchange between the biological and physi
 cal sciences\, engineering and humanities\, and the development of open te
 chnologies and responsible innovation in the context of Synthetic Biology.
 \n\nPreviously the fund has supported sequencing and characterisation of r
 eporter genes\, useful DNA parts\, genetic tools\, open source microscopes
  and other hardware\, a community biolab project\, open source modelling s
 oftware and more. We can also support policy papers\, educational resource
 s\, outreach activities\, creative design projects and more - just check t
 he website or contact jcm80@cam.ac.uk for more details.\n\nThis meeting wi

  Jenny Molloy on jcm80@cam.ac.uk - we look forward to hearing from you!\n\
 nThis event is followed by Cafe Synthetique at the Panton Arms with inform
