In 2019, the Synthetic Biology Consortium (SBC) was formed as a result from interest from Program Staff from 11 NIH Institutes/Centers and the Office of the NIH Director. The NIH SBC hosts an annual meeting that is open to the public. The annual meeting summaries and videos and other NIH led synthetic biology workshops are linked below under the Historical Synthetic Biology Workshops section.
