Engineering Function
Abstract
The Engineering Function program will leverage advances in synthetic biology and bioengineering to enhance the natural capabilities of biological systems. To date, imparted functionality in engineered living systems has been limited by the vast biological complexity of the system and lack of understanding of the relationship between the living system and its local environment. This program will include research to develop discovery and automation tools as well as synthesis techniques that expand upon the toolbox of genetically encoded constructs and biologic structures for engineered living systems. This program will enable the design of engineered living systems, expanding approaches for multi-cellular system engineering for natural and extreme environments, higher levels of complexity and system-of-system designs, and self-assembled manufacturing.
