S3349: Synthetic Biology in HSSP Spring 2010 (Apr. 17, 2010)
Synthetic biology is a new and exciting field of genetic engineering, with scientists designing new organisms to make medicines, fuels, and all kinds of other stuff. In this course we'll learn how to cut and paste DNA, what scientists are doing in labs around the world today, what the future of synthetic biology might look like, and design our own organisms.
