Positioning Synthetic Biology to Meet the Challenges of the 21st Century
Synthetic biology—unlike any research discipline that precedes it—has the potential to bypass the less predictable process of evolution to usher in a new and dynamic way of working with living systems. Ultimately, synthetic biologists hope to design and build engineered biological systems with capabilities that do not exist in natural systems—capabilities that may ultimately be used for applicatio...
