Biology — the science of life, living things and the processes that keep us all running — links up in essential ways with ...

Bringing together engineers, physicists and molecular biologists, the field of synthetic biology uses engineering principles to model, design and build synthetic gene circuits and other molecular ...

The history of synthetic chemistry offers a possible roadmap for the development and impact of synthetic biology, a nascent field in which the goal is to build novel biological systems.

The ability to read and write bespoke segments of DNA is enabling unique solutions to everyday challenges. As ease-of-use and adoption grow, the trend is set to accelerate. In April, 2000 ...

Synthetic biology is a relatively new field that aims to make biology easier to engineer and more amenable to rational design. As the field expands, synthetic biology may become a pervasive ...

Neurological disorders have been historically difficult to treat due to the intractable nature of the brain and nervous system. However, synthetic biology enables scientists to develop technologies ...
