Synthetic biology brings together multiple disciplines – across the biological sciences, computer science, engineering, social sciences and beyond – to design useful things from the building blocks of life. Tools to synthesise and engineer biological systems, enabled by growing repositories of DNA-encoded biological components, offer new approaches for a startlingly wide range of applications across health, manufacturing, energy and beyond. This ability promises to revolutionise economies and societies, offering new approaches to transform (and perhaps even ‘biologise’) industries and overcome global challenges to benefit people and the planet.
