“The future of life is not something to be left to chance. We must shape it with intention.” – E. O. Wilson, renowned biologist and pioneer of conservation biology. We face big challenges from human actions on the environment. We need new solutions that use science and technology for a better future. Synthetic ecology is one such solution. It’s about designing systems that work like…
Synthetic Biology: Engineering Life for Useful Purposes
“Life can be seen as a kind of pattern, a complex but orderly arrangement of parts that continually renews and re-creates itself.” – James Gleick, American science writer and historian. Synthetic biology is where biology, engineering, and computer science meet. It’s a field that could change our world a lot. By using genetic engineering and other advanced methods, we can make life do useful things.…
