Biocontrol Workshop 2025

After the success of last year's workshop, we are thrilled to once again help showcase the latest advancements in controlling biological systems. We aim to bring together researchers from across the world interested in a broad range of topics, including—but not limited to—the modelling and engineering of synthetic gene circuits, optimization of bioprocesses, machine learning and control strategies for studying natural biological systems, and generally theoretical and practical applications of control in biology, biotechnology, and beyond. 

To accommodate a global audience and foster international collaboration, this year’s workshop will feature three online sessions across different time zones on November 19, 2025 (times below are tentative and subject to change):

• East Asia session: 08am-noon CST / 02-06am CET / 08pm-12am ET (Nov 18) / 05-09pm PT (Nov 18)
