Synthetic biology covers a lot of territory, from redesigning existing biological parts to build novel systems, to constructing a “simple” genome for medical, agricultural and industrial applications. The scientific field is attracting new talent and investment in part because of its potential to address some of the most vexing problems: How to convert from fossil fuels to a bio-based economy; how to produce food in more sustainable ways; how to create new precision medicine products.
Join MBC BioLabs and LaunchBio to hear from investors and entrepreneurs about these technologies and how they will shape our lives. We’ll also feature food samples of new plant-based proteins that look and taste like the real thing.
