SynBERC

The Synthetic Biology Engineering Research Center (SynBERC) is a multi-institution research effort to lay the foundation for synthetic biology, which aims to design and assemble biological components into integrated systems to accomplish specific tasks Engineered biological systems have enormous potential to solve a wide range of problems in human health, industrial processes, and renewable energy and the environment. SynBERC brings together many of the pioneers of synthetic biology, including prominent biologists and engineers from world-class institutions, to work together to lay the foundation for this nascent field.
