Bio Innovation Week

Conference Date

16-20 September, 2024

Conference Location

Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Introducing Bio Innovation Week, a new annual event to bring people together to meet and discuss topics focused on the intersection of synthetic biology, systems biology, computer aided design, and lab automation. Bio Design Week will include the annual International Workshop on Bio-Design Automation (IWBDA), International Workshop on Bio Manufacturing Automation (IWBMA), a Nona Works hackathon, SBOL Workshops, and additional meetings and workshops on relevant topics, social events. Bio Design Week offers a forum for cross-disciplinary discussion, with the aim of seeding and fostering collaboration between the biological and the design automation research communities.

Bio Design Week and IWBDA are organized by the non-profit Bio-Design Automation Consortium (BDAC). The Nona Works Hackathon is organized by the Nona Research Foundation. BDAC and the Nona Research Foundation are both officially recognized 501(c)(3) tax exempt organizations.

Events

Hotels

Hotels close to Boston University and Asimov during Bio-Design Week may be more expensive than usual due to a Red Sox-Yankees series happening during the same week. We recommend looking at hotels along the MBTA’s Green Line (B) or within a reasonable walking distance to Boston University. There are options over in the Longwood Medical area (~25 minute walk or ~15 min by public transportation). Hotels in Cambridge may also be less expensive, but would require a longer commute.
