For agriculture to continue to grow amid the complex challenges of food security and climate change, innovations like those offered by the new field of 'synthetic biology' could be key.
Synthetic biology therefore allows us to explore places where evolution has never gone – and in some cases, probably never would go. It means we can reach outcomes chosen to meet human needs, instead of evolutionary pressures.
A jointly-funded Postdoctoral Fellow position in order to develop research capability in responsible innovation in synthetic biology.
Mike Nicholls of Main Sequence Ventures interviews some of the world's leading researchers in SynBio at our recent Synthetic Biology Australasia event.

Claudia Vickers chats synbio with Diffusion Science Radio
How assembly line nanofactories could lower the cost of diabetes medication.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has accepted the interim recommendation of an advisory committee that researchers not proceed with clinical applications of human germline genome editing - at least for now.
Yeast has the potential to help us produce biological versions or replacements for a whole range of other important chemicals we currently produce from oil. That makes it something of a darling in the growing field of synthetic biology — and one of the most studied organisms on the planet.
A new study in the journal Clinical Toxicology examines how effective enzymes can be for treating organo phosphate poisoning in humans.
