The NSF-funded Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (SynBERC) has made exceptional inroads this year in the effort to train a new generation of synthetic biologists by developing and launching a series of courses at the graduate, undergraduate, and high school levels. The courses reflect not just the scientific and engineering goals of the field, but also its social and ethical dimensions. Some of these courses are available outside the host university through online modules at openwetware.org, and a course on the Fundamentals of Synthetic Biology was taught at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon, Korea. SynBERC is headquartered at the University of California, Berkeley.
