Synthetic Biology
Abstract
(U) The Synthetic Biology program will develop and implement a revolutionary approach to the manufacture of bio-based materials that directly support a broad range of military capabilities, such as sensing of chemical/biological agents, production of bio-based fuels and chemicals, remediation of pollutants, and protection of the food supply chain. Synthetic Biology is based on a revolutionary framework for the algorithmic engineering of biological processes, enabling truly hierarchical biological systems with unbounded complexity. Research thrusts include automated process discovery, tool-chain development, novel approaches to process measurement and validation, and development of application demonstrations.
