  text: In November 2016, developmental biologists, synthetic biologists and engineers
    gathered in Paris for a meeting called ‘Engineering the embryo’. The participants
    shared an interest in exploring how synthetic systems can reveal new principles
    of embryonic development, and how the in vitro manipulation and modeling of development
    using stem cells can be used to integrate ideas and expertise from physics, developmental
    biology and tissue engineering. As we review here, the conference pinpointed some
    of the challenges arising at the intersection of these fields, along with great
    enthusiasm for finding new approaches and collaborations.
