Synthetic Biology: A New Field of Study with Potential Biotechnological Applications .

Fleur Delacour

Synthetic biology can thus be described as a tool for creating novel biological pathways, species, and devices that do not exist naturally, as well as for redesigning natural biological systems. This technology allows for unique solutions in a number of fields, including drug development, fine chemicals, sustainable biofuels, vaccines, value-added materials, protein therapeutics, and so on. Synthetic biology, as a multidisciplinary field, offers numerous scientific and technological opportunities in areas such as food, medicine, agriculture, bioremediation, and electricity.
