Synthetic Biology
Synthetic biology is having a major impact on the development of applications in biotechnology, medicine, agriculture and energy, and accordingly brings academic and industrial interests together. We have therefore decided to incorporate contributions from representatives of some of our industrial partners into this module so that you can hear about commercially oriented research ‘first-hand’. Overall, this course will suit students who are interested in cutting edge science and who are keen to understand what the alternative (but related) paths of research in academia and industry might offer them in the future.
