What is synthetic biology? What if we could grow everything? What if this is just the beginning? Biology runs on code in the form of DNA. It’s A, T, G, and C rather than 0 and 1. We can read and write with DNA to program cells. This allows synthetic biologists to reimagine the possibilities of living things, from bacteria that fight cancer to rewilding whole ecosystems. We created syntheticbiology.com to highlight stories about cutting-edge synthetic biology that’s making the world more open, equitable, and sustainable.

Biology has been innovating since life on Earth began. And now, synthetic biology is building on that foundation towards a manufacturing, health, and environmental revolution 3.5 billion years in the making. But that revolution really is still in the making, and the future of synthetic biology is being shaped every day by how we think about it. That’s why we made syntheticbiology.com to reimagine the possibilities of living things—like bacteria that fight cancer, super corals, or rewilding whole ecosystems.
