Synthetic Biology Learning Center

Resources for next-generation genetic engineering tools

• Understand more about synthetic biology
• See how synthetic biology is helping researchers meet their research challenges
• Get the help you need to configure and order synthetic biology products

Synthetic biology comprises the next generation of genetic engineering tools. It combines molecular biology and systems biology with engineering principles to design biological systems and bio-factories. The aim is to create improved biological functions that meet current and future challenges. The Synthetic Biology Learning Center is designed to collect—in one place—the resources you need to understand this field better, to see real-world applications synthetic biology, and to find Thermo Fisher Scientific synthetic biology products and strategies that can assist you in your research.
