Biological Control Systems 2026

Biological Control Systems 2026 will bring together researchers, students, and industrial partners in Oxford to showcase cutting-edge work at the interface of biology, control, engineering, and the quantitative sciences.

This conference will cover a broad range of topics, including modelling and design of gene circuits, optimisation of biological processes, and machine learning and control strategies for natural and synthetic biological systems, with applications in healthcare, biomanufacturing, food, and agriculture.

This event provides a unique opportunity to engage with a vibrant and growing community, network with peers, and be part of the conversation as we build the future of the field.

This event is for:

• Synthetic biologists working on tools and methods for precise and robust control of biological systems
• Control & ML theorists and engineers entering biology
• Engineering Biology PhDs/postdocs/PIs
• Industry (incl. automation, DNA synthesis, biotech & biomanufacturing)

All attendees, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career, are invited to submit an abstract for consideration. Abstract submission deadline15 August 2026.

Final registration deadline 11 September 2026:
