The GDR BioSynSys has been launched by two laboratories - iSSB in Evry and LISBP in Toulouse - to group together the French strengths in Synthetic and Systems Biology (SSB) and provide the tools to build a visible, structured community.
About 300 people have registered to date to the GDR, associating 40 academic institutions and 7 biotech companies.
GDR BioSynSys missions:
- Make visible at the international level, a French scientific community, both academic and industrial, around the SSB.
- Increase the French presence in European and world research programs (ERA-SYNBIO, Horizon 2020, ...)
- Provide scientific animation of the French BSS community: annual workshops, missions of researchers and students between laboratories, privileged collaborations at the French level
- Rapidly disseminate scientific and technical information
- Facilitate the access to common heavy tools and materials through technology platforms
- Facilitate the training of students and postdocs
- Promote and improve the cooperations and exchanges between academic and industrial partners: to facilitate the transfer of technology, on models of TWB and Genopole
