Lessons on Synthetic Bioarchitectures
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-73122-3 (ISBN)
This textbook discusses the new relationship between artificial, synthetic material and living matter, and presents defined examples of approaches aiming for the creation of artificial cells. It also offers insights into the world of synthetic biology from its origins to the present day, showing what is currently possible in this discipline. Furthermore, it examines the ethical concerns and potential threats posed by this new field.
The textbook is based on a lecture of the same title, held for master's students at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU), Vienna, and is primarily intended for students of synthetic biology, biotechnology and bioengineering. It is also of interest to research scientists from other disciplines wishing to learn more about the state of the art of synthetic biology and its future.
Eva-Kathrin Ehmoser-Sinner is Professor of Nanobiotechnology and Head of the Institute of Synthetic Bioarchitectures at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria. Dr. Darren Cherng-Wen Tan is Deputy Head of the Institute of Synthetic Bioarchitectures at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria Dr. Tan and Prof. Ehmoser-Sinner read the very popular lecture on Synthetic Bioarchitectures to international Master Students in Biotechnology at the University of Vienna.
