DESCRIPTION:*Café Synthetique is the monthly meetup for the Cambridge syn
 thetic biology community with informal talks\, discussion and pub snacks.*
 \n\nThis months' theme will focus on genetic circuit engineering\, which i
 s the synthesis of unnatural DNA segments encoding protein or RNA molecule
 s that control each other’s levels. Come along and learn more about this
  exciting technology! \n\nWe have two excellent speakers whose work focuse
 s respectively on the use of CRISPR and the design of genetic circuits\, a
 nd the application of cell engineering in Bioprocess.  \n\nFree bar snacks
  and good conversation provided!\n\n\n\n*Talks and speakers *\n\n*Using CR
 ISPR in Cancer research*\n\nDr Alisdair Russell\, Cambridge Cancer Centre\
 n\nAlasdair heads up a specialised team that provide a centralised ‘Hub
 ’ for the innovation and application of state-of-the-art Genome Editing 
 technologies to complex\, patient-relevant model systems in a pre-clinical
  setting. They use these novel models in a range of pre-clinical trials to
  advance our understanding of disease. \n\n\n*Advances in genome editing: 
 could we design the perfect cell line for\nthe manufacture of biotherapeut
 ics?*\n\nDr Bruno Fievet\, Senior Scientist\, Applied R&D\, Horizon\n\nBru
 no works as part of Products Division for applications in Bioprocess\, and
  is using leading edge genome editing technology to develop new mammalian 
 host cell lines for the Bioprocess Industry.  \n\nFor more information\, a
