The International Conference on Engineering Synthetic Cells and Organelles, SynCell 2023, will be held in Minneapolis, MN on May 22-24, 2023. The conference focuses on synthetic biology, establishes the state-of-the-art of synthetic cell technology, and identifies grand challenges and opportunities for future work in this field. It features world leaders in synthetic cell technology from premier US and international universities and national laboratories. The meeting addresses the mission of NSF, which has been increasingly committed to integrating the engineering sciences with the life sciences, encouraging research and development in multidisciplinary areas, educating the next generation of young scientists, and supporting cutting edge science to answer current and future challenges as well as making sure US-based scientists are globally engaged. Topics of the conference will focus on development of foundational technologies for creating synthetic cells. The conference will hold sessions on five topics over 2.5 days in a single-track format. The topics will be (1) cell-free translation systems; (2) education, outreach, ethics, and biosafety; (3) containers and cytoskeletons; (4) metabolism, gene replication, membrane synthesis, ribosome assembly; (5) synthetic cell applications in medicine and manufacturing; and (6) minimal cells as a living chassis. The conference proceedings, and companion white papers, will be published.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

国际工程合成细胞和细胞器会议Syncell 2023将于2023年5月22日至24日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行。会议聚焦于合成生物学，确立了合成细胞技术的最新水平，并确定了该领域未来工作的重大挑战和机遇。它展示了来自美国和国际一流大学和国家实验室的合成细胞技术的世界领先者。会议阐述了NSF的使命，NSF越来越致力于将工程科学与生命科学相结合，鼓励多学科领域的研究和开发，教育下一代年轻科学家，支持尖端科学应对当前和未来的挑战，并确保美国科学家参与全球事务。会议的主题将集中在创造合成细胞的基础技术的开发上。会议将以单轨形式在两年半的时间里就五个议题举行会议。主题将是(1)无细胞翻译系统；(2)教育、外展、伦理和生物安全；(3)容器和细胞骨架；(4)新陈代谢、基因复制、膜合成、核糖体组装；(5)合成细胞在医学和制造业中的应用；以及(6)作为活底盘的最小细胞。会议记录和相应的白皮书将被公布。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
