Learning About Synthetic Biology and Laboratory Automation

Synthetic Biology is A) the design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems, and B) the re-design of existing, natural biological systems for useful purposes.

Efforts to make biology easier to engineer have come to be known as "synthetic biology." Synthetic biology represents a convergence of advances in chemistry, biology, computer science, and engineering.

The journal emphasizes scientific and technical advances that enable and improve life sciences research and development; drug-delivery; diagnostics; biomedical and molecular imaging; and personalized and precision medicine. This includes high-throughput and other laboratory automation technologies; micro/nanotechnologies; analytical, separation and quantitative techniques; synthetic chemistry and biology; informatics (data analysis, statistics, bio, genomic and chemoinformatics); and more.
