This interdisciplinary program will focus on synthetic biology, an exciting emerging field of research and commercialization with implications for energy, health, and environmental policy. Synthetic biology combines principles of engineering and information technology to create biological components and systems that do not exist in nature and to re-engineer existing ones from scratch. However, as with any emerging technological innovation, it poses some unique policy and governance challenges. The event will introduce the audience to the topic of synthetic biology and the diversity of policy-related activities surrounding it.
