Programming Life: The Rise of Synthetic Biology
Season 1
Episode 52
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Modern synthetic biology is turning genetic material into a programmable platform for designing organisms and sustainable materials.
Tools like CRISPR and metabolic engineering are transforming microbes into factories for medicines, fuels, and biodegradable products. In parallel, 3D bioprinting in microgravity enables complex medical structures—like nerve implants—without gravitational limits.
Combined with AI and biomimicry, this convergence is driving a new bioeconomy focused on personalized healthcare and circular production systems.
