Generative Optogenetics (GO) workshopThe Generative Optogenetics (GO) workshop, organized by DARPA under the Department of Defense, is a premier gathering aimed at accelerating breakthroughs in light-driven nucleic acid synthesis and synthetic biotechnology. This event brings together leading researchers, performers, and innovators to advance a revolutionary platform that uses light as a direct information carrier to program DNA or RNA sequences inside living cells without a template, enabling precise, scalable, and rapid genetic instruction delivery for applications in biomanufacturing, therapeutics, and defense. Participants will engage in technical sessions featuring lightning talks and poster presentations on cutting-edge topics including protein engineering, engineered allostery, novel molecular motions, optical and non-optical modulation of biomolecules, nucleic acid synthesis mechanisms, error correction, subcellular engineering, and AI-driven polymerase modeling. The workshop also includes dedicated forums on biosecurity risk mitigation, ethical considerations, regulatory pathways, intellectual property strategies, and commercialization pathways to transition this emerging technology from lab to real-world impact. The event is open to GO program performers and collaborators as well as external scientists working in synthetic biology, optogenetics, computational biology, and related fields, fostering a collaborative ecosystem designed to spark new partnerships and joint experiments. Attendees will have the opportunity to present their research via lightning talks or posters by submitting a synopsis by August 14, 2026, with registration opening July 1, 2026, and closing September 23, 2026. The workshop itself will take place on October 22–23, 2026, and will feature interactive panels, networking sessions, and a focused dialogue on dual-use concerns and policy frameworks surrounding in vivo genetic synthesis. This gathering is a critical milestone in building the scientific and operational foundation for a new paradigm in biological information transfer, where light replaces traditional molecular templates to drive next-generation genomic control.
