Synthetic Biology: Approaches and Applications of Engineered Biology

The Tower is an official publication of the Georgia Tech Board of Student Publications and is sponsored by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program and the Price Gilbert Memorial Library System. This article is from Volume 2.Synthetic biology is expected to change how we understand and engineer biological systems. Lying at the intersection of molecular biology, physics, and engineering, the applications of this exploding field will both draw from and add to many existing disciplines. In this perspective, the recent advances in synthetic biology towards the design of complex, artificial biological systems are discussed.Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program ; Price Gilbert Memorial Library System.Friedrich C.
