The role of synthetic biology in medicine
Introduction of synthetic biology in medicine
Synthetic biology is the design and construction
of new biological entities such as enzymes, genetic circuits,
and cells or the redesign of existing biological systems. Engineered systems of genes and other molecular
components created through synthetic biology make medical treatments more
effective and promise cures for a range of health problems.
The role of synthetic biology in medicine
1.
Synthetic biology provides scientists
with an arsenal of new tools to accurately and efficiently modify the molecular
workings of cells to gain medical advantages
2.
The clinical uses of synthetic biology cover a
wide range of areas, including diagnostics and treatments
3.
Can edit an organism’s DNA
4.
modified the genetic machinery from a cell
using synthetic biology and embedded it in paper that can be freeze-dried for
storage
Benefits of synthetic biology in medicine
Scientists could use
synthetic biology to detect and remove environmental contaminants and create
safer and cleaner air for us to breathe and water for us to drink. They
could also apply synthetic biology to applications that would diagnose, monitor
and respond to disease in humans and animals and develop new drugs and vaccines
that would be more effective and efficient than ever before.
