(FINANCIAL CO-SPONSORS: BioPACIFIC MIP) Searching for Novel Performance: The tools of synthetic biology continue to expand at a break-neck pace, allowing new insight into the organization and composition of materials. A focus on novel materials enabled by biology alone or coupled with chemical conversion, with a credible path to scale-up and property exploration can provide novel performance trade-offs and valuable lessons learned for best practices in this rich inter-disciplinary field. The symposium will bring together academic, government, and industrial researchers to highlight opportunities at the forefront of the field, and share new polymers for high performance materials brought on by the intersection of disciplines.
