Synthetic Biology Advantages in Different Fields

Synthetic Biology Advantages in Different Fields

• By Bio Basic

2
Bioengineering

• Bioengineering is the merging of engineering
  principals and biological systems in order to
  design and develop new bio-based technologies.
  Disciplines are diverse, ranging from
  applications in bio-medical research to
  agricultural engineering. Just a few examples of
  the type of exploration conducted under
  bioengineering include

• Addressing food scarcity through identification
  of key markers that impact drought resistance,
  growth, and nutrition
• Developing techniques for organ and tissue
  regeneration
• Bioengineered medical devices

Neuroscience

• Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system,
  it includes everything from behavioural and
  cognitive brain function to nerves and the spinal
  cord. In neuroscience applications, gene
  synthesis is used to help researchers study
  within the field of genetic engineering. Codon
  optimized synthesized genes can be used to
  visualize and study various neuronal pathways,
  allowing neurobiologists and researchers to work
  with the synaptic signalling mechanisms that
  control everything from addiction to memory loss.
  Gene synthesis has helped paved the way to
  cutting-edge advances in this rapidly evolving
  field.

5
Vaccine Design

• The creation of vaccines for infectious diseases
  has never been more important, and gene synthesis
  has been able to help fast-track research,
  design, and development within this field. De
  novo gene synthesis and codon optimization have
  allowed researchers to benefit from an enhanced
  antigenic specificity and identification of
  vaccine adjuvants, which produce stronger immune
  responses, giving hope that better vaccines can
  be developed to combat everything from seasonal
  flu and emerging influenzas, to oncogenic viruses
  and cancer-related infections.

6
Therapeutic Antibodies

• Therapeutic antibodies, typically monoclonal
  antibodies, are lab-grown molecules used in the
  creation of drug treatments for a number of
  conditions, including autoimmunity, inflammatory
  diseases, and cancer. They work by triggering a
  desired immune response, whether that be
  suppression, activation, or change. Gene
  synthesis is widely used in this field to provide
  researchers with custom codon-optimized gene
  sequences that help to improve the expression of
  antigenic proteins and peptides, and aid in the
  development of these antibody-based drugs.
