An engineer in the field of synthetic biology works with genes, proteins and other biomolecular components: moves them between organisms, designs and creates new biological systems with desired properties, most of which have no analogues in nature. In fact, this is artificial evolution, since before the advent of synthetic biology, new structures arose only during the natural process of mutations. The possibilities of synthetic biology are virtually limitless, from producing new materials from fungi or plant-based energy sources to growing crops with improved photosynthesis. For example, in pharmaceuticals, a cure for malaria , artemisinin, was C Level Contact List obtained in this way. They collected the necessary enzymes from different bacteria into one modified strain and significantly reduced the cost of producing the drug, since they no longer depended on the yield of wormwood, from which the drug was previously obtained. What does a synthetic biology engineer do? Synthetic biologists control cellular functions and reprogram cells. In other words. They study what and where in the genome can be broken, swapped, replaced in order to get a new system. The sequence of genes can be created virtually through computer programming and then brought to life. programmer, only in his schemes there are biological, not mathematical components. A synthetic biology engineer comes up with solutions to specific problems. For example, in the food industry : if by 2050 the population growth is about 2 billion, there will be a shortage of food, and genetically modified substitutes, products with desired properties.
