Abstract

Here, we describe a workshop that analyzed synthetic biology at the academia–industry interface. We discuss how research can mature into successful biotech ventures and the infrastructure to support the transfer. We conclude that ‘it takes a village’: all components are necessary and must collaborate to grow academic ideas into real-life technologies.
