Synthetic Biology - Jameson Dungan
Ignite Hampton Roads talk by Jameson Dungan on Synthetic Biology. October 19th, 2012. Synthetic biology is a new area of biological research and technology that combines science and engineering. It encompasses a variety of different approaches, methodologies, and disciplines with a variety of definitions. The common goal is the design and construction of new biological functions and systems not found in nature. Biology is Technology. Synthetic Biology includes the broad redefinition and expansion of biotechnology, with the ultimate goals of being able to design and build engineered biological systems that process information, manipulate chemicals, fabricate materials and structures, produce energy, provide food, and maintain and enhance human health and our environment. Join me on this epic adventure and quest into the world of gene splicing, biohacking, and a DIY approach to starting a wet lab where we can tweak the source code of life and turn microbes into hackteria. If you thought The Home Brew Computer Club of electronic tinkerers gave rise to big things (Apple and the personal computer revolution.) then come be a part of the future that will bring about the second industrial revolution. http://www.terasemjournals.com
