Front Matter (R1-R14)
Conference Summary (1-6)
IDR Team Summary 1: What new foundational technologies and tools are required to make biology easier to engineer? (7-18)
IDR Team Summary 2: What are the significant differences, if any, between risk assessment capacity and religious analyses of the moral permissibility for synthetic biology applications and other biotechnology applications? (19-24)
IDR Team Summary 3: Reconstructing gene circuitry: How can synthetic biology lead us to an understanding of the principles underlying natural genetic circuits and to the discovery of new biology? (25-36)
IDR Team Summary 4: Designing communities of cells: how do we create communication and collaboration between cells to allow for specialization and division of labor? (37-44)
IDR Team Summary 5: Why are human-designed biological circuits and devices fragile and inaccurate relative to their natural counterparts? (45-52)
IDR Team Summary 6: How can genomics be leveraged to develop coherent approaches for rapidly exploring the biochemical diversity in and engineering of non-model organisms? (53-60)
