What is Synthetic Biology?​

Imagine programming life itself – synthetic biology unlocks this ability for us. It enables the engineer of life forms, such as microorganisms, to create not just sustainable foods but also to remediate our environment from the climate impact of CO2 emissions.

Traditionally a playground for big pharma, this field will be pivotal in combating climate change. It’s expected that the market for synthetic biology solutions in the next 20 years will reach a $4 trillion market value.
