Synthetic Biology in the Driving Seat of the Bioeconomy

    Research output: Contribution to journalComment/Debate

    Abstract

    Synthetic biology is revolutionising the biotech industry and is increasingly applied in previously unthought-of markets. Here, we discuss the importance of this industry to the bioeconomy and two of its key factors: the synthetic biology approach to research and development (R&D), and the unique nature of the carefully designed, stakeholder-inclusive, community-directed evolution of the field.
