Enabling Next Generation Biological Research through Synthetic Biology Tools

Over the past decade Synthetic Biology has emerged as a new discipline in biotechnology that enables an engineering approach to biology. This approach is beginning to transform how biological research is conducted. It is expanding into many application areas, including the integrated analysis of complex pathways, the construction of new biological parts, enzyme engineering and the re-design of existing, natural biological systems. These new application areas and approaches are enabled by new tools emerging from Synthetic Biology.

ThermoFisher Scientific is a leader in serving science and development of tools for Synthetic Biology. We present here our integrated approach to provide tools to the community with a focus on efficient engineering of DNA via DNA-synthesis and genome editing tools. Overall this toolbox enables researchers to carry out engineering of biological systems at all scales faster and more efficient than before in development of biologic solutions. Recent advances in tool development and their applications will be shared.
