Synthetic biology is the engineering of biology: the synthesis of complex, biologically based, or inspired, systems which display functions that do not exist in nature. The rational and systematic design of biology may help us to address the major challenges of the future.

The involvement of molecular biologists, biochemists, engineers, physical scientists, chemists, biologists, mathematicians, computer scientists are all needed in this emerging discipline. BBSRC funding is available for this course and we also encourage self-funded applicants from any of the disciplines above.
