Welcome to Synthetic Biology Australasia (SBA). We are the society for synthetic biologists in Australia and New Zealand and we welcome everyone. Our members are students, university researchers, people working in industry, and anyone interested in synthetic biology. We aim to support a growing and engaged community through local events, an international conference, and in person and online networking. Please join with us at this exciting time for synthetic biology here and around the world.

We acknowledge the First Nations owners of the lands where our members work and live. We pay our respect to their Elders, lores, customs, and creation spirits. We recognise their great knowledge and care of the lands and waterways. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
