Synthetic Biology is poised to deliver new solutions to global healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, and environmental challenges; this emerging, exciting interdisciplinary area consists of redesigning biological organisms for useful purposes with the help of engineering techniques for making new abilities.

Reaching a record of $8 Billion investments in 2020 making Synthetic Biology the fastest growing area in Life Science! Projected to grow to USD 30.7 billion in 2026 from USD 9.5 billion in 2021.
First successes have been in medicine and pharma. Harnessing the natural power of enzymes or whole cells and using sugars as the feedstock for product manufacturing, would move us from a petroleum-based economy to a bio-based economy! Patients are benefiting from CAR technology, which engineers the immune cells of the patient to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Viruses or microbes are being genetically engineered to both detect and kill a particular pathogen, for example, the bacteria that causes cholera.

Synthetic Biology is a major priority area. We are launching a series of events in this exciting field, starting on Synthetic Biology applied to medicine & pharma.

The event is organized by JLM-BioCity & co-sponsored by Azrieli College of Engineering & AtoBe.
