New book on the future of synthetic biology
New book on the future of synthetic biology
We recommend Amy Webb‘s and Andrew Hessel’s new book on the future of synthetic biology.
Synthetic biology could revolutionize how we define family, how we diagnose disease and treat aging, where we build our homes, and how we eat. This fast-growing field – which uses computers to modify or rewrite genetic code – has produced revolutionary breakthroughs such as COVID mRNA vaccines, in vitro fertilization and lab-grown hamburgers that taste like the real thing. It promises us opportunities to deal with the big challenges: climate change, food insecurity and access to fuel.
However, there are serious risks. Amy Webb, a leading American foresighter, and Andrew Hessel dedicate their new book to the opportunities and risks of synthetic biology.
