Module code: BIO751P

Credits: 15.0
Semester: SEM1

Contact: Dr Simon Moore

The module actively introduces you to the cutting-edge research field of synthetic biology, which is enabling far-reaching impacts in medicine, climate change, and manufacturing. The module explores the emerging potential of synthetic biology as we focus on learning the core principles, including the conceptual design, build, test, and learn cycle (DBTL) framework for engineering of biology. We will discuss its vital tools and navigate ethical considerations, encompassing both the potential misuse and the profound societal and economic impacts. We will embark on a transformative learning journey that unlocks the limitless potential of synthetic biology, empowering you to shape the future.
