What is Synthetic Biology?
From its humble beginnings to its current iterations, synthetic biology keeps pushing the boundaries of what is possible. As a fusion of several scientific disciplines, synthetic biology promises to revolutionize everything from medicine to bio-energy.
Synthetic biology has a whole host of potential when it comes to creating breakthrough vaccines and drugs, sustainable bio-fuels, or advancing plant science – all by utilizing the building blocks of life itself.
How does it work?
- Decoding Nature’s Blueprint: First, it is crucial to understand and isolate key parts of natural biological systems.
- Engineering with Precision: Reassemble those parts using rational design principles and create new biological pathways.
- Modularity is Key: Emphasizing a modular DNA design allows researchers to mix and match components, leading to an array of potential constructs.
- Predicting the Unpredictable: The introduction of new DNA to existing cells can have unexpected effects. Multiple tests are run to ensure the desired results.
- Speed and Efficiency: The assembly process is streamlined through automation. This means quicker production, a decrease in manual labor, and cost savings, all leading to a faster development cycle.
