The Synthetic and Systems Biology Summer School (SSBSS) is a  
full-immersion five-day residential summer school at the Volterra  
Learning Center (Pisa - Tuscany, Italy) on cutting-edge advances in  
systems and synthetic biology with lectures delivered by  
world-renowned experts. The school provides a stimulating environment  
for students (from Master students to PhD students), Post-Docs, early  
career researches, academics and industry leaders. Participants will  
also have the chance to present their results (with Oral Talks and  
Posters), and to interact with their peers, in a friendly and  
constructive environment.
