Synthetic Biochemistry - iGEM
The term “synthetic” biochemistry / biology has long been used to describe an approach to biochemistry/biology that attempts to integrate (or "synthesize") different areas of research in order to create a more holistic understanding of life.
More recently the term has been used in a different way, signaling a new area of research that combines science and engineering in order to design and build ("synthesize") novel biological functions and systems.
The course will deal with the term mainly in its latter meaning.
