MiamiOH OARS on 20 Jun 13As Synthetic Biology is the attempt to engineer biology, projects should incorporate engineering principles like modularity, abstraction, standardization and orthogonality and use modelling approaches to optimize or improve a biological or bio-based unit. Unlike descriptive biological disciplines, projects are expected to use deliberate (re)design and construction of parts, devices or systems. Projects can derive from basic research or more applied research areas in chemical biology, biophysics, biotechnology or biomedicine. Potential advances for society should be outlined in the proposal.
