The theme, “Vision 2020: Emerging Technologies to Elucidate the Rule of Life,” is intended to address the key problem of how the new emerging technologies can help us to engineer better biological systems to transform our understanding of the rule of life, as well as translate new discoveries in ways that ultimately benefit human health. Recently, many new technologies have been developed such as genomic/epigenetic editing, single-cell to tissue level cell atlas, tools to manipulate the extracellular environment, and methods to fabricate cell/tissue structure in 3D. Within this central theme, a broad spectrum of isolated groups has emerged from disparate disciplines but has not been fully engaged in CMBE community.
