Synthetic biology is a field of science that involves engineering biological systems for applications in medicine, agriculture, and other industries. It combines principles from biology, engineering, and computer science to design and construct new biological organisms or modify existing ones for specific purposes. Researchers in synthetic biology work to create biological systems with new functions or characteristics that can be used to solve problems or improve existing processes. This field has the potential to revolutionize areas such as drug development, biofuel production, and environmental remediation by harnessing the power of biology to create novel solutions to complex challenges.
