MIT Synthetic Biology Group

The MIT Synthetic Biology Group is a research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology focused on designing and engineering biological systems. Their work combines biology, engineering, and computer science to create custom organisms that can perform specific tasks, such as producing drugs, biofuels, or other useful materials. They study how living systems work at a fundamental level, allowing them to manipulate genes and pathways to achieve innovative solutions. This interdisciplinary approach has the potential to address global challenges in health, energy, and environmental sustainability.
