Today's synthetic biologists are in the early stages of engineering
living cells to help treat diseases, sense toxic compounds in the
environment, and produce valuable drugs. With this manual, you can
be part of it. Based on the BioBuilder curriculum, this valuable
book provides open-access, modular, hands-on lessons in synthetic
biology for secondary and post-secondary classrooms and
laboratories. It also serves as an introduction to the field for
science and engineering enthusiasts. Developed at MIT in
collaboration with award-winning high school teachers, BioBuilder
teaches the foundational ideas of the emerging synthetic biology
field, as well as key aspects of biological engineering that
researchers are exploring in labs throughout the world. These
lessons will empower teachers and students to explore and be part
of solving persistent real-world challenges.Learn the fundamentals
of biodesign and DNA engineering Explore important ethical issues
raised by examples of synthetic biology Investigate the BioBuilder
