Synthetic Biology Reshaping Medicine, Farms and Factories
Original: Engineering Life: How Synthetic Biology Is Rewriting Medicine, Farms and Factories
Synthetic biology is moving from the lab into everyday industry, with engineered organisms now used to develop new medicines, improve crops and manufacture materials in factories. Reporting on the field highlights how researchers reprogram living cells to produce drugs, hardier plants and sustainable industrial products. Commentators see it as one of the most consequential technologies of the decade, though questions about safety, ethics and regulation continue to accompany its rapid growth.
Why now: Growing interest in how engineered organisms could transform healthcare, agriculture and manufacturing.
