Synthetic Biology and Bioengineering

Bioengineering is a field that uses engineering ideas to work with living systems. Synthetic biology is a part of this field that focuses on creating new parts, tools, and systems in biology, or changing existing ones. Synthetic biology often deals with more complicated designs that involve many genes, while bioengineering covers a broader range of uses, such as creating tissues or making medical tools.

- Genetic and Genome Engineering: This involves making new genetic systems, gene circuits, and even whole genomes from scratch.

- Metabolic Engineering: This area is about changing how organisms process chemicals so they can make specific products.

- Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering: This includes making materials that can be used in the body and creating tissues, organs, and small organ-like structures for medical use.

- Biosensors and Biomolecular Electronics: This involves making sensors and electronic systems that use biological molecules to detect things or perform other functions.

- Bioprocess Engineering: This is about designing and improving processes that use living things to make products, like fermentation and large-scale biological manufacturing.
