The Royal Society is seeking views on the emerging area of synthetic biology, to shape the focus of the Royal Society's policy future work in this important area.
Synthetic biology is an emerging area of research that can broadly be described as the design and construction of novel artificial biological pathways, organisms or devices, or the redesign of existing natural biological systems. Synthetic biology has the potential to lead to a wide range of useful applications, but it also raises a number of uncertainties including its possible impact on society, regulation and ownership, sharing and innovation frameworks (including intellectual property).
