Preparing synthetic biology for the world
Synthetic Biology promises low-cost, exponentially scalable products and global health solutions in the form of self-replicating organisms, or "living devices." As these promises are realized, proof-of-concept systems will gradually migrate from tightly regulated laboratory or industrial environments into private spaces as, for instance, probiotic health products, food, and even do-it-yourself ...
متن کاملEthical Debates on Synthetic Biology
Background: As an emerging interdisciplinary area of science with a multitude of potential facilities and applications, synthetic biology integrates different disciplines with one another ranging from basic science to engineering. This interdisciplinary branch therefore encompasses sciences that require specific development and ethical approaches. Materials and Methods: Science management princ...
متن کاملSynthetic biology for synthetic chemistry.
The richness and versatility of biological systems make them ideally suited to solve some of the world's most significant challenges, such as converting cheap, renewable resources into energy-rich molecules; producing high-quality, inexpensive drugs to fight disease; and remediating polluted sites. Over the years, significant strides have been made in engineering microorganisms to produce fuels...
متن کاملSynthetic genomes for synthetic biology.
A genome synthesized entirely from scratch has been used to replace the native genome of a living cell, thus creating a new cell. This achievement marks a new frontier in synthetic biology to design and create genomes for organisms with few genetic tools and for applications in areas of energy, health care and the environment.
متن کاملSynthetic biology: From a word to a world
The term synthetic biology was first introduced by the French scientist Stéphane Leduc (1912), be it with a different meaning as today’s, and (it seems) in modern times by the Polish geneticist Waclaw Szybalski (1974). Putting aside priority questions it is true that the term gained popularity in mainstream science only in the year 2004 when the first international meeting, called Synthetic Bio...
