What is a synthetic genome?
The world’s first synthetic yeast genome is about to be completed, and that could change everything. But what is a synthetic genome anyway?
What is bioremediation?
Learn how synthetic biology supercharges microorganisms—nature’s tiny clean up crew—to decontaminate soil, purify water, break down plastic and remove forever chemicals from our environment.
What are biosensors?
What are these curious little tools and what can they do for the environment, health and more? Find out here.
Molecular Modification
Synthetic biology involves supercharging microbes with abilities to produce specific end products. But how does that work exactly?
Gas Fermentation
What if you could eat up greenhouse gases and create new sustainable products? You can, and here’s how!
Precision Fermentation
Learn how a process called precision fermentation enables us to create sustainable products from waste sources.
What is synthetic biology?
Microbes are the world’s most brilliant chemists, turning simple sugars and compounds into complex chemicals. But now they are being recruited for another role. One that goes beyond what any single microbe on earth can do. And a global bioeconomy is beginning to flourish.
