Synthetic biology is about harnessing the power of nature to solve problems in medicine, manufacturing and agriculture. So, sounds pretty important which is why we will take an intro in this video into synthetic biology, in particular, synthetic gene circuits and how they could be applied to speed up drug discovery using cellular reprogramming and neurodegenerative diseases as a case study. And then why i think this research is cool.
