Synthetic Biology – Building Blocks of Life

Description

Can we construct life? Synthetic biology aims to do exactly that. Researchers design new biological systems, create organisms with new properties, and use cells as 'biological machines'. The lecture explores the fundamentals, successes, and open questions of this young field of research and presents examples – from programmable cells to artificial yeast to bio-designed microbes.
