WHAT IS SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY ?
“Simply put, synthetic biology is a field that combines engineering principles with biotechnology techniques like DNA sequencing and genome editing to modify organisms or create completely new ones,” says Maria Savino, Global Segment Development Manager for Biomanufacturing at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences. The benefits of synthetic biology are already visible in the progress it has facilitated in fields from biocomputing to diagnostics and biofuel production.
“Synthetic biology represents a means to produce organisms that can help mankind in our race against time,” Savino explains. “But researchers in this space often face challenges such as optimizing gene expression and screening for the best-expressing strains. They also need to mitigate the risks and costs associated with scaling up their processes. In fact, much of synthetic biology involves optimizing variables, which is time-consuming and error prone. Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is working to build the knowledge and tools needed to bring workflow solutions to synthetic biology and associated manufacturing spaces.” (*1)
Synthetic biology is a field of science that involves redesigning organisms for useful purposes by engineering them to have new abilities. Synthetic biology researchers and companies around the world are harnessing the power of nature to solve problems in medicine, manufacturing and agriculture.
